Looking for the part # or a place to buy the parking brake bracket that the cable attaches to inside the drum.

I don't think there is a bracket inside the drum.
There are brake cable holders (Bracket-Guide) that are riveted to the frame 3687001 L. and 3687002 R.
Good luck finding a new one.

The threaded end of the brake cable goes inside a clevis. Is this it? If not, please post a picture.

The pictures I sent you in your previous post shows a NOS cable with parts strapped to the cable.
I added another picture. This may be what you are looking for. These come with a NOS cable.

I don't know if GMC Huck parts will work okay on Chevrolet Huck brake.

Now that I think about it, the parking brake cables for Bendix brakes are different than Huck brakes, so cable I pointed you at won't work without modifying your backing plates. There was another member here (can't remember his handle blush ) that was going thru the same exercise, converting Huck backing plates to use the Bendix parking brake cable. I'll see if I can hunt that down.

[on edit] Found the thread I was thinking of here.
Turns out he was modifying a later (56) backing plate to work with a '51 brake cable. Disregard what I said about Huck parking brake cables being different. I don't know if that's the case.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Could it be the actuating lever that is attached to the rear shoe that you need?
