Did a dumb thing.

Hello everyone, well, I picked up an 86 F150. In the process of getting it on the road I am replacing the rear brakes and associated hardware. To make a long story short I "accidentally" threw out the bracket that goes on the rear break shoe that the E-Brake cable hooks onto. The problem is I cant find a replacement anywhere. Its the drivers side. I cant beleive I did that. I am still kicking myself. "ANY" help would be greatelly appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like you need to go to a junk yard just see if it is the 9" or is it the 8.8 most ford truck were made with one of the two also some cars came with these as well good luck.

A junkyard will be your best bet, and being your truck is an 86, you should have the 8.8 rear axle. The bracket you need will not come in a hardware kit, but I always replace the hardware when I do the shoes anyway.
