I found a 91 Suburban in the yard and discovered it has a slightly longer cable (buy about 18" or so" than a 73-80 cable. I've wasted a lot of time trying to make something custom so I'll probably just stick with this Suburban cable for now, even though it's not as long as I would like.

I've wasted enough time with this darn hood cable but I did grab the El Dorado cable incase I get energy in the future. I'd have to fabricate some sort of L-bracket since the handle looks like this:
