Here's the parking brake lever, all cleaned up.
Here's the mounting plate with the adjuster bolted to the back of the Dana 18. I had to get a new lower-right bolt of the right length (it's the shortest).
The adjuster arm with the brake lever attached. I squirted the spring-loaded cable down with Liquid Wrench to remove some of the rust and get it cleaned up.
Shoes installed. Having never worked with drum brakes before, this was a nice, easy, and quite simple setup to work on. At some point, I'll have to crack open the hubs on the axles and look those brakes over, as well.
All tightened up, with red LocTite on the bolts.
Got a cotter pin in the castle nut on the brake lever. I'll wait on getting the cable hooked up. (I still need to work on the dashboard hand lever bracketry that broke some time prior to my purchase of the project.)
Plus the drain plugs that I hadn't gotten around to installing.
