Brake shoe anchor
 

My son snapped the brake drum anchor pin bolt on his truck. I have searched online and cant find a replacement. I can find one for chevelle and Camaros but none for the c10. Any idea where I can go to find one or anyone have one laying around?

Any parts store, just tell them you need a drum brake hardware kit for your model year. I think I got my kit from Autozone for 10 bucks, has all the hardware including springs.

You would think. But no not this part. This bolts to the backing plate. Here is a picture of the broken pin.

I have a couple of them if you can tell me how to get them out

Aren't they part of the backing plate? The easiest and fastest would be to get a replacement backing plate from a like vehicle.

Remove the rear diff cover
Remove the C-Clip
Pull the axle
Pull the seal/bearing
Unscrew the brake line
Remove the wheel cylinder
Unbolt the backing plate.

Install is reverse.

Some of them have a large nut on the back of the backing plate. If so, remove this nut & tap out the anchor pin. You should be able to find one at a salvage yard. If it is built in to the plate you will need to replace the backing plate.

You're right! Now that I look at the picture he attached again, it looks like his may be the "nut" version.

Howdy neighbor!

Snap a pic of the pumpkin and the backing plate, load up the tools and go to the nearest picnpull in DFW. Go to the truck section and pull what you want.

I got two of them for you, they are threaded into it. A good torch with some heat and a heavy impact took it out.
