72 blazer park brake to drum

I'm stuck?!
Bought all new park brake cables, mounts, pedal assembly from LMC. Everything they have for a new park brake install I bought. also all new rear drum brake hardware, shoes, springs clips. Everything I could see.
But, missing a lever that connects the park brake cable that goes inside the drum to the shoes themselves. Appears to be called a toggle lever elsewhere. I have the horizontal bar and the adjuster hardware. LMC just doesn't seem to show this missing part for left and right. May need a spring with it too.
Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Yeah. It has a spring on one side and hits both shoes above the axle. I think it is called an equalizer.

Been here before, I found that you will probably have to go to a wrecking yard for that part. The spring is available through Dorman parts. Sorry man. ;(

thanks for answering

LMC doesn't seem to have. i found it at bills truck stop, and they're apparently shipping it to me. the park brake lever and spring.

Take it off your old brakes your replacing. I cleaned mine and put it back on.. Don't know anyone that sells that bracket except bone yards.

Re: 72 blazer park brake to drum

thanks, but this is an entire new install as previous owner had the entire park brake system removed. i finally found the last park brake bits from bills truck stop, and they were delivered to my house today.

so one less hurdle. not easy to install. and can't yet see where the cables mount to the frame.

cheers
