That would be the self adjusting brake cable, goes inside the brake drum, you can get them from most any auto parts store.

If the radiator support is rotted off at the mounting area, it lets the whole front end move around. Fan can get into the radiator for one thing, the support can be replaced, but its not cheap to do, check the truck over, look at the rear spring hangers, they may also be rusted off.

the radiator support is more than just the mount for the radiator, its part of the main structure of the front of the truck. If there is an area that is "rotten" the truck should probably be avoided. A structurally compromised vehicle is not safe to drive and is probably cost prohibitive to have fixed.
