It sounds like someone has done a hackjob on the brakes and put in a shoe that sort of fit. You should have a Dana 70 or 80 under the rear end.

Wait a second - F-250 dually? Are you sure it's not an F-350?

F-250's were NEVER offered as a dually. To get a dually, you had to get an F-350. So you have a homemade truck.

You'll need to identify the rear axle to get brake parts for it. There are a couple axle identification guides around the Internet. Search for them here, and they've also been posted in the axle & tranny forum before.
