I'm in the home stretch on my project and I'm finding little nagging things that keep hanging me up.

The PO decided to leave out the e-brake, or parking brake, actuating levers and spreader bars when he put new rear shoes on. I'd really like this to work as I don't feel a parking brake is optional....but really a necessity on a standard trans vehicle.

Were can I buy this stuff? I really need to find a vendor quick.

let me know how they fit.

I don't even have the levers. The old e-brake cables were just dangling inside the drum. At least I found out what that wierd scraping noise was.

those spreaders won't work on a bus. we have those ebrake parts used - spreaders, levers, except some of the '72-'73 only stuff.

What are considered 73 only parts? That's what I have.

'72 then up to chassis #2132102495 the spreader is unique. some of the pins that hold the spreader to the shoe are unique. it's possible to convert to the later (mid-'73-up) style if you have everything.
