1965 Valiant low brake pressure

No, it does not have the rods, Is it supposed to? Ill actually pull it apart tomarrow, it was pulling to the right when I test drove it today so I know somethings not right. Ill take pictures then, just didnt want to go through pulling them apart today. But that I remember the ones that came off didnt have them either...

Makes complete sense now thinking about it that thats whats missing, But I cant figure out why the brakes were working fine before they went out when it didnt have them
