Question New member & need a little help w/51 Chevy truck

Hi all,
Have this solid 51 Chevy, 1/2 T and need some help finding a brake part that is missing. Parking brake is not functional and the park brake cable arm is missing. Have looked at multiple sites for the part and no one seems to carry it.
Are there any compatible years I can salvage from? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all,
Jim

Most 1951's hit the crusher years ago, but eBay might have one.

Welcome from Florida. This may be what you are looking for, maybe.

Is the part you are looking for missing from both wheels? If one side has it, you can copy it and have one made.
