About a month or so ago I picked up a 65 F250 4x4 and im going through the rear brakes and I pulled one drum off and everything was missing from the inside. I am having a lot of trouble finding the hardware for it. Anyone have a source for this type of stuff.

 

Here are three links to brake parts from the three sources I see referenced the most around here.
NPD: Brakes
LMC: Truck Parts and Truck Accessories
DC: Brakes | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts

 

All 1955/65 F250's have 12 1/8" x 2" front & rear brakes as do some 1966 F250's.

Self adjusters (parts catalog pic: 2A176/2A177; 2A178; 2A179 etc) were not available with 12 1/8" x 2" brakes until 1967.

Rear brakes shown in upper pic. Which parts are missing?

 

Ha everything, I have the shoes and wheel cylinder but everything else I need. I work at a parts store and even the older brake parts catalogs do not list anything. The biggest thing that I need I think its called a equalizer bar?? Not sure its that flat bar above the shoe adjuster. I need the adjuster too.

 

Parts catalog pic: Equalizer (link) is 2A642 .. adjuster is 2041/2042/2047 .. but there could be right and left sides.

Which side do you need?

 

The Driver side, Left side. And since I know your good at this can you break down my vin on this truck? Vin is F26DL661728 THanks

 

F26 = F250 4WD / D = 352 2V / L = Michigan Truck Assembly Plant / 661728 = 1965, assembled March 1965.

I have a 1966 Ford F250 4x4 and replaced all the brake hardware and brake lines front and rear from rock auto. The only place I could find the rear brake drums was O'Reilly auto parts and they had to be ordered online from their website. Those were the most difficult parts to find. Good luck!

 

I just went through this with a 1965 F100 4x4... the only thing I can figure out is that there were problems with the parking brakes at one time and somebody removed everything they could find to free the brake. I was able to find the brake levers and spreaders from a seller on ebay:

He still has some of this stuff, might be worth checking out. I was a bit lucky because my rear was a ford 9"- very common with 11x2 1/2 brakes.
