Tried a search, no luck.

Working on a 1950 2-ton, but think this applies to all the trucks with Huck Brakes, and maybe Bendix as well.

What are people replacing the brake anchor pin retainers with? The original, "deformable" clips are available, but pricey, so I'm wondering: Is anyone replacing these with standard e-clips? The e-clips are about half as thin as the originals, but I don't see why you couldn't slip 2 of them on there if you wanted. There's no end-thrust on the shoes, so I don't see much risk.

Just wondering what others have done.
