Default Drum brake parts needed

Hey y'all, I am getting nowhere looking for replacement pistons for the rear brake solenoids...I need all 4. The driver side had 0 upon removal of the drum and the psgr side, both are deteriorated and nearly shapeless..Can't locate these puppies anywhere so far. Please help brothers!!
Junkyard is next but that could really go sideways and its middle winter here too. New is my goal on stuff like this anyway.

Pistons? Can you post a pic of where they are supposed to go?

If it's the ones in the wheel cylinders, just replace the whole cylinder. If you need to little rods that poke in there, between the wheel cylinder, and the shoes, I think dorman sells them.......

Raybestos, Bendix, etc all used to list those. or a "mostly brake hardware" (they didnt make pads/shoes) like Carlson would certainly have them.
though some vehicles did not use those. depending on the shoes themselfs and the configuration of the pistons themselfs on the wheel cylinders, some vehicles didnt need those plunger pins (that's what I call them, maybe not what they are called in the parts catalog)

If ears on the shoes don't go into them, hit the bone yards and pick several up against future need.
