Missing Parking Brake Link

Does anyone have a lead where I might find a parking brake link and spring for a ‘59 F250 with 12” drums? It measures 7-5/8” wide. I’ve tried all the usual parts stores and online suppliers. Can’t even find one on eBay.

These links are right and left specific.

Use with 12 1/8" x 2" brakes: 1957/58 F250 / 1959/72 F250 2WD/4WD:

C7TZ-2A642-A (replaced B8TZ-2A642-B & C1TZ-2A642-A) .. LEFT Parking Brake Link / Obsolete

MCDONALD OBSOLETE PARTS in Rockport IN has 1 = 812-359-4965.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C7TZ-2A642-B (replaced B8TZ-2A642-A & C1TT-2A642-B) .. RIGHT Parking Brake Link / Obsolete

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

B8TZ-2A642-A = KAMA OBSOLETE PARTS in East Bethel MN has 1 = 763-434-0123.

C1TT-2A642-B = There's 1 on ebay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C4UZ-2A601-A .. Parking Brake Link Spring / Obsolete

MCDONALD OBSOLETE PARTS has 4.

NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX has 7 = 972-937-2201.

KLIMESH MOTOR SALES in Calmar IA has 20 = 563-562-3241.

Thanks NumberDummy. I'll give them a call.

Maybe I'm having a brain fart but for the life of me I cant figure out why there'd be a difference between the left and the right? Wouldn't you just flip it over for the opposite side?

See 2A642 in pic. These are the 1961 replacing part numbers, I found the original part numbers and the 1967 replacements in the O-S-I (Obsolete-Supercede-Interchange) catalog.

I didn't doubt you were right and greatly appreciate the information. It just baffles me why each side would have a different part number.
