Need help locating brake hardware

I thought this would be a simple thing to locate. Local parts stores and even LMC Truck don't carry brake hardware for my '61 F100 2WD. Could someone tell me where to go to get this kit? It's for the rear drum brake set-up. THANKS!

I believe alot of hardware parts are the same for 61-66 model's. I recommend pulling one side apart and taking everything to your auto suppliers. I found this out being true on alot between 64-66 and I wouldn't believe it would not also apply to 61-63 as well.
I could be wrong and I assure you someone will correct my post if I am. I understand Shoes & wheel Cylinder's can be different, but the primary & secondary anchor spring's and e-brake lever etc should be the same.

Not sure of a source for the fronts, found local NAPA auto parts was able to get drums and brakes components for the rears on 65 F100 within few hours.

NAPA had it! I checked the other places who didn't, and assumed NAPA wouldn't either. THANKS!!
