Parking brake cable question

Ok 77 F-100, 4X2. I need to change all the brake cables. Since the local parts store doesn't stock them they have to be ordered. What I want to know is what comes with them. The adjustment rod is rusted and not reuseable does this come with the new cable, the equalizer is ok. From the equalizer there are 2 short cables that go to a coupling that connects the 2 rear cables. The 2 short cables are crap also, does the 2 short ones come with the equalizer and if so where would I find a new one, I haven't seen them in any catalogs.

I know it is not new but you may find some decent parts at a salvage yard.

equallizer and 2 shorts ones that go where? I am not sure where you mean. I have a 78 F150 and I got the parts I needed from them. Maybe I missed something, though.

ok it goes like this, front cable, equalizer, 1 cable each side (about 12" long) a metal coupler or union that connects those cables to the rear cables. Not too worried about it right now.
