I have a 2000 extended cab 4x4 with the 10" drums on the back. My brake on the passenger side decided to grenade itself, when I pulled the drum a lot of stuff was sitting at the bottom.
I can get a spring kit and the self adjusting kit from work, but I'm having trouble finding the bar that goes length ways. It would be #9 in this diagram.
Anyone know of where to get that part or is there another vehicle I could take it? out of?

 

Some time you can find them at Napa or carquest, definitely a bone yard, sunday is a bad day to need one

 

I checked those and a couple otheres, none have it. I may end up going to a junkyard it seems, I have other vehicles to drive so I'm not in a big hurry to fix it.
Is there any other vehicles that would use the same bar? I've read the astro van drums will swap, would the interior hardware be the same?

ford lists the same number for 3 different parts

the dealership is your best bet for that part

 

I should have some from when I switched to disc brakes.. I will look for them. PM me and we'll work something out.

 

I am having this same problem with my 95 ford and even ford says they cant get the part. This is kinda crazy.

 

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem with my 95 Ranger and cant figure out what to do. My truck was not supposed to have the 10" drum in it but the rear end was replaced to be able to pull better and i have no clue what the rear end went to. Im not sure how to figure this out.

Thanks for the help! I was actually able to track it down through Ford even though they told me they couldnt get it. I found the part number on here and was able to order it from ford. f57z-2a642-a is the part number if anyone else runs into the same problem.

 

Just did the brakes on a 90, drivers side was done and I broke a spring on the passenger side, got a spring kit from O'Reillys and finished it. 2nd day driving I hear a pop from drivers side, I had planned to go back and replace those springs. That bar was at the bottom of my drum, ruined. I made my own from an old T-post with a cut-off wheel and mini die grinder...
