I took the anchor pin out when doing the rear brakes. I didn't actually lose it, it appears that either I did not put the nut on the backside (or perhaps it wasn't a locknut) or when I tightened it down I stressed it enough that it broke.
The pin, bushing, and spring were all inside the drum, and all are far too damaged to reuse.
My local NAPA (Which is what I would call a BETTER NAPA after seeing other's issues with the chain) Searched their books trying to find the pin, etc.. No such luck. I also tried Auto-Value (which our local has been ran by the same family for MANY MANY years), Auto Zone, O Reilly's, and about every other parts store around.
My local Ford dealer was most helpful, printed out a "exploded view" for both my 86 and 95, Looked up what other dealers nearby had, and give me the number for the one that had what I need.
As for the pin itself, I'm going to use a gr 8 1/4-28 bolt that has the same "shoulder length" as the original pin (and same dia. as well) as the pin new was nearly $20
As for the question about the parking brake: I have never tried to use it, and have no plan of trying to use it. I'm going to hook the cable back up on the arm that is slightly damaged and call it a day.. The "tabs" the cable hooks to are intact enough to hold the cable still, it just ground the end down a little, compared to the opposite side.
