So I have a Dana 80 single wheel rear axel out of a 94 2500 and I was putting new brakes into it and got called out to the field and the new hired man cut up the brake bar lever thinking it was scrap and now I’m in the predicament of needed a new one. Any ideas on where to get one online?
This is the thing I’m talking about I’ve seen it called several different things
Yes, this is an issue, as that part (parking brake strut) and the parking brake lever it connects to are no longer available new anywhere. Luckily you at least have something to weld back together. I have had no luck finding these parts used or new at a reasonable price so far. I believe Dana 80 and Dana 70 rears with 13" drum brakes share these parts from 1994 thru 1999.

I’m in the process of fabricating a new one. I’ll put up pictures of the finished product. Here is my fabrication job. It’s not pretty but it should work
That's what I was going to suggest. You could have the one copied on a water jet or plasma cutter if you wanted to be fancy. Main thing is it works, no one will see it when it's installed.

Great idea and very nice! It it the same thickness?
