Exclamation !! Missing drum brake springs-HELP!

So, went to assemble my rear drum brakes on the 67. According to the parts guide, I seem to be missing one spring, part #2035. And, this spring doesn’t seem to exist anywhere on the planet! I don’t have it in my old parts, not sure what would have happened to it! If any of you have input, let me know! Bill, Jeff, any input you guys might have would be wonderful!!

Pat, doesn't Wagner still make a brake spring kit. Used to be able to buy them. Maybe it's just been too long. Hope you can find them.

I have the kit. But, it doesn’t include this dam spring, for whatever reason! I can’t figure that one out.

Is what I have. Got for my 86 F250 2WD. Which, if Bill edited his post, would work. They don't have the bend in them as shown in the illustration.

I know they sell those springs, for the 67 -250. But, those have 12 inch brakes, my -100 has the 11 inch. I wonder what size they are on an 86?

Is that the right one, though? I looked it up, it doesn’t look like the one in the parts illustration. That one looks to be doublet the length of that one.

Pat, I'm getting more confused than usually....are you looking for the roughly 8+" long spring that hooks to each brake shoe ??
That B5A 2035-A doesn't look like that.

George, those are for the -250, with the 12 inch drums, mine has the 11 inch drums. And, yes, that long spring, with hooks on both ends that goes between both shoes.
