Hello, I am re-doing the brakes on my 1973 roadrunner and have attached pictures of how the brakes are set up once I removed the drum on the rear driver and rear passenger side. Is there anything that seems to be missing or can they be assembled just like this with new parts? My only concern, from watching videos, is the parking brake lever and cross-bar and whether those should be on one of the drum assemblies. They were not there when everything came apart and the pictures show that as well. Any clarification is appreciated, thanks!

The brake strut rods are missing.

You are missing all the parking brake parts.
the parts are dependent on the size brake you have, but they are attainable

Yes, both sides get a lever and strut rods. Levers get attached to the secondary shoe (rear most) with a horseshoe clip.
As stated above, you will need these things, otherwise, you will have NO parking brakes. It looks like, from the pictures, there are no parking brake cables either.
You could probably do without any of these things, but as I said, you'll have no parking brakes. Remember also when you re-assemble them, short shoe front, long shoe rear.
I may have the parts you are missing . Here is a picture to compare
These are from 67 FSM later years might be slightly different.
Thank you all for your help. I tried to find some parking brake levers and struts online but I’ve had some trouble. Oldmanmopar, if you have 2 levers and 2 struts for 11 inch drums, I’d love to buy them off you if you won’t be needing them. The car is an auto and I won’t be using the parking brake much but while I have everything apart, I’d like to set it back up correctly. Thanks again to all.
