Wow! I have the hard copy of the manual, but my printing is very dark and I could not see the spreader bar. Thanks for the link!

I'll have to pick up a spreader bar and a spring for it, then see if I can figure out where it attaches. I would assume that the brakes don't have the extra adjuster lever and auto adjuster cable like the 67 Chevy does.

By saying that the parking brake cable attaches to the lever arm just behind the brake show, you are using the term lever arm and spreader bar interchangeably? Or are you referring to the shoe backing as the lever arm? I am trying to be as clear as I can so that I understand what's going on. Thanks!
