Proper Brake Kit

I have a 1972 F250 2wd with a 360 and all drum brakes. I have been having a tough time finding a proper brake kit for my front brakes. Does anyone have a part number for a currently manufactured brake kit?

Are you talking about the spring kit, the wheel cylinders, or the shoes? Or all of the above. Do you know the size of brake shoes for the drum's, there are two different sizes. Here is a quote from FTE member Number Dummy: " 1966/72 F250 2WD have TWO different sizes of front/rear drum brakes. 1966/72 Camper Specials (all 2WD), and F250's with a 7500 lbs GVWR, have 12" by 2 1/2" front/rear drum brakes. All other 1966/72 F250 2WD's have 12 1/8" by 2" front/rear drum brakes."

I should have been more clear, I'm looking for the springs. My shoes are 2 1/2".
