Parking Brake Fail
I replaced my shoes, drum/rotors, hardware and pedal assy. Even have the measuring tool to set adjustment before I put the drum/rotor back on and I still have no parking brake. There is a good bit of slack in my park brake cable. How do I tighten up the slack to get a parking brake!!

If it's just a stretched (or possibly incorrect) cable, Google parking brake cable tensioner. But first, check the points where the cable jacket anchors under the truck, making sure they're all in good shape and none have corroded to where the jacket slips through.
