I've lost more parts moving my disassembled 59 3200 and its parts around the state of Vermont form shop to shed to driveway to the nice, woodstove-heated garage where I'm currently putting back together...dropped the fresh 235 in today!
The latest discovery, I can't find the ummmmmm, I don't know what it's called, but it goes between the leading breakshoe and the parking brake arm, and it's gone (both of them).
At this point, I'm thinking of just putting the rear drum brakes back together without the parking brake hardware. They seem to be just like the front brakes except for the p.brake parts, right?
Any reason not to do this? | | |

You might be able to get them at a local parts store. If you want some used ones, go the the parts for sale section and contact RJ. Should be the same for your 59 and the 60-66 parts he sells.
Your brakes will work without them.
