The cable is under your drivers seat agains the frame.
It's unlikely you'll be able to separate the 2 pieces if they're original though.

You can adjust the tension on the cable, the adjustment is on the cable end under the bed, on the outside frame, just in front of the drivers side rear tire.

If you've already done that I'd check the rear brakes to make sure everything in there is in good shape and working correctly.
