Looking to replace both rear drum brakes on a 74 f250 2wd, does anyone have any recommendations for an entire kit or should I get everything separate, any help would be appreciated
I'm not aware of any kits , just get what you need at your local parts house.
I always turn good drums and rotors I see no need to replace them if they will clean up good. keep in mind the more expensive longer last pads and shoes usually don't perform as well , I prefer the standard ones. don't kit your wheel cylinders replace them.

1973/75 F250 2WD: TWO different brake drums, because...there are TWO different sizes of brake shoes.
12 1/8" x 2" or 12" x 2 1/2" // The brake retracting and hold down springs, brake adjuster and parking brake link springs, self adjuster parts are specific to one or the other.
The wheel cylinders and the wheel cylinder kits are also specific to one or the other.
As Bill said, be sure you're buying for the correct size brakes. Measure the shoe width. RockAuto.com has "plenty" of brake components for our trucks at good prices. Use their discount code to get another 5% off.
