Looking for Parking brake levers.

I am looking for a set of parking brake levers( the part that the parking brake attaches to inside the rear drums) for my 65 F-250. It has a Dana 60 rear axle, full floater. 2" rear shoes. Will levers from a 74 F-250 work?
any info would be appreciated.

I meant to say "The part where the parking brake cable attaches to the lever inside the rear drum"

Did you check carquest? They have all sorts of hard to find parts. I even found the rear brake soft line which no one else carried. Also the last I knew ford used bendix drum brakes on all the rearends. Worst case you will end up going on a junk yard crawl to find the right ones. Do you have the original ones?

I have been to all the parts stores around me, the yards around me have nothing that old anymore, so I just dont know what else to do. So I came on here to see if anyone could help. And the other problem is I have nothing to referance, all I have on the truck is shoes, the spreader bar, cable, and park brake arm are all gone.

If you have good ones with everything, heck yes, that would be awsome, my cables are there and are good.

Well this will probably help you out then. I just did a cross referance check using kargen.com and found the brake shoes with a 2" width are the same for 65 and 74. So I would do it.

I did find out that the park brake setup is totally different on a 74 F250.
