Number Dummy (Bill) isn't there a variety of years that use the same brake components that one could pull off a salavage yard truck. I believe up too if not farther than 1974 models? Don't quote me on that. My old 66 daily driver was missing those same arms; its rough not having a E-brake with a three on the tree style truck.
Hope this sparks some thought for others to chime in. Because with out a E-brake I think your more than Fish Bait. LOL

Sounds like it's time to upgrade to the wider brakes. You'll need backing plates and axles off of a 68-72 truck. Brakes are wider and parts are available.

1961/67 F100 2WD Rear Brakes are 11 x 1 3/4" .. 1968/72 are 2 1/4"
The front wheel cylinders are larger on 68/72 (1 1/8") .. (61/67=1 1/16"), the rears are the same (7/8"). The parking brake levers are different from 1968/72 and are the same as 1965/72 big Ford/Mercs. Best way to go...donor truck in a boneyard. Then buy new springs and w/c rebuild kits. You can also replace the old self adjusters with new parts, or buy a kit that replaces the self adjusters with replacement components if you remove them.
Size does matter!

If, after all the above comments, you do not want to upgrade and decide to stick with your original brakes, let me know - I might have an actuating arm in my junk-pile. Do you also need the pin, spring-washer, and the clip? Do you need right or left or both?
