Parking brake repair

I am trying to get the emergency brake working on a 1995 F350 CC 4wd psd and am down to the last part. I have replaced everything up to the rear where it should connect to the two rear cables. I was hoping someone could post a picture or give me an idea if I am looking for the right parts. I believe I need the adjuster, "equalizer" bracket, and a return spring.
Here is what I have now:


This is what I am working from to search for parts:


Thanks in advance for any info or help.

I don't have any experience with your particular model, but I just did some work on my '94 F150 and all that is missing from your pic is the bracket. No springs or anything else were on my truck.

.... in short, free bump!

I have purchased these two, I'm hoping this will do it.

I was thinking the same, but a little digging has left me thinking I need an adjusting rod in this location. The truck didn't have any hardware on it when I bought it, so I am flying a little blind, though.

If that is what your truck calls for, then it looks like the two links you provided should get you what you need.

I didn't need the adjuster rod on my truck even though it is listed in the link you provided.

My truck only had the equalizer on it, but a different one from your link. My equalizer had one side a bit longer with a slot to accept the cable that came from the cab.

I'm unsure if that is what this model calls for and am searching for that information now. Judging from the distance between my cables I believe it might.

I was able to find a simple extension spring at the local hardware when mine rusted through.
Without it, the equalizer is always banging against the frame and can come undone.

I'll have to get some measurements and source out a spring when I install the parts then.
