Sorry if it seems like this is a whine, but I'm now frustrated, needing to vent, and looking for advice.
Last week I did all sorts of work to my 1986 F250 to get ready to go north snowmobiling.. The majority of the work was brake work, as I've had rear brake issues since I got the truck, so I put all new lines, hoses, hardware, wheel cylinders, drums.. You get the idea.. on it, and it seemed really great..
THINGS WERE GOING WELL until today.. I pulled a load of scrap in, and I started getting a funny noise.. drove the truck home and started investigating.. Noise seems to be coming from passenger rear.. Opened it up.. well, it appears that the "anchor pin" had broke, allowing the parking brake stuff fall apart. Luckily, other than a nick in the drum and shoe, everything looks ok..
Now the question: Any ideas where I could find the anchor pin/bolt, and the bushing and spring (And maybe the e-brake "arm")? I've been googling for 2 hours, no such luck, other than I now know they call it a anchor pin.. I'd really perfer new parts (but a used "arm" would be fine).. I'm gonna check with ford dealer in the am.. got fingers crossed, but seeking other ideas in case.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
