From the engine section to inside the cab?
If you pull off the right and/or left dash panel (open the door, on the side of the dash), there is a hole with some insulation foam in it. Poke through it with a long screwdriver, it'll lead into the upper corner of the engine compartment/fender area.

In your case you have to use...
1. Either of the foamed holes.
2. If you look up **** and download the instructions it shares the hole and grommet where the rear window wiper hose passes thru. It is near the brake master cylinder.
3. Drill your own hole through the firewall.
Those are you options.

The two access (foamed) holes, previously mentioned are PERFECT, they're high, easy to get to and can go direct to battery, without any disassembly
I've got 11 wires going thru both left/right and I didn't have to get under the dash-they're perfect for any additional components

I found this pic which may help you see the spot I am talking about. The hole I was talking about is just below the green tape of the large wiring harness. There is also an arrow in this photo where the other person found access as well.

This is exactly where I brought my wires into the cab. If you pop off the left hand piece of the dash that is parallel with the driver side door, you can get good access to the wires below and have access to mount light switches on the left side of the dash, between the driver's side door and the steering wheel.

No need to drill any holes. On the driver and pass side there are at least two holes to pass wire thru. The pass side one is foam filled and the drivers side carries a couple of wires with a rubber grommet as you can see in the previous pic.
Use a wire coat hanger to pull wire thru.
