Default Brake parts for 1995 Dana 70 Ram 2500 2wd

This is a repeat of a 2018 thread conceerning the park brake lever and brake drum lever/springs. Looking for the right side park brake lever and 4 springs for the drum lever. Previous owner couldn't find the parts (I guess), so he took parking brake system off the truck. I work the truck and want the park brake on it. I've been looking, and understand why he eliminated the system. I read the 2018 post, but they went off forum before the thread was completed. Local part guy cain't find it, TorqueKings.com in Billings, MT shows one (out of stock), gotta wait untill after Christmas to call them, so reaching out to see what I can find. My truck is a custom, 78 C-30 frame, 66 C-50 cab, 95 5.9l Cummins 12v with 46/47RH auto and Dana 70 from a 95 Ram 2500 donor.

Just noticed this one in the approval que...... Seems notifications aren't working as they should.

That said, should be able to find the springs at least, at your local neighborhood part store, or, any number of online resources, the lever though, may have to check with junk yards for that.....

So this is rear drums, right? I don't think discs w DIH appeared until circa 2000 or '01?

I'm no help but wondering if OP ever found the parts?

I once had a drum brake Dodge Dana 70 with 4.10 gears and a limited slip unit that I picked up in a trade that I ended up selling. I had the hardest time finding brake hardware parts for that rear, similar to what the OP is experiencing.

The pick and pay salvage yard is likely the best place to find the parts for it, if you can find a Dodge Dana 70 in the yard. At the time, I tried eBay, but no luck..

Chebby on a Dodge. Dana didn't supply brakes/backing plates the oe manufacture did. I know some of the stuff is not reproduced and $$$ so finding a used set up is the best bet. The op hasn't been here since his one post.

In his defense it got hung up for three weeks and he likely found some solution in the couple days after Christmas '24
