ISTR there are wires that run through conduits on the floorpan on 73 models.  They were all rusted out on the project I never got done.

I'm not sure, does the 73 have the up/down sliders on the "A" posts 
(like the 70 and earlier cars use)? If so, a piece of electric fence wire 
could be used as a substitute. I used some .030 stainless MIG welding 
wire to make one up in my wife's Fastback.

The one on the right is broken, if I need floor heat I need to push the
foot well door open. As far as I can tell or recall it's one cable that
works both and it's in a housing and I don't see any clamp  like the rears
have. I don't see any place that sells these. All I can think of is to use
a rear spare I have and fish it through the housings and some how fit it to
the foot well doors. These is some sort of sliding clamp on each door that
I think locks the cable to the door or is there a z shaped bend there as
well?
