You guys need to ask for parts BEFORE we scrap the trucks! :-)
We just scrapped a 75 F 600 tanker chassis, with many new brake parts
under it!

Most of the bigger for trucks didn't use Ford rear axles. They used
Eaton or Rockwell. Same as GM and Dodge.
The rear handbrake cable levers are interchangeable.
Rear wheel cylinders are available from NAPA, Just make sure you know
the bolt size and the bore size. Those were based on the weight rating
of the truck so they were not a one sized fits all.
