Parking brake help please;)

Have you ever lost something in your garage/shop? I lost/misplaced some parking brake parts and I can't find them anywhere! I just took the parts off a few days ago and they've disappeared!

Maybe I won't need the parts I've misplaced, but here's what I've got;

The brake pedal assembly came out of a 73 Impala.



So the cable comes down and goes through the floor and a little bracket I'll make to hold it. However, this cable is broken too.



Here I will make a hole for the parking brake cable to go through the floor support and follow the outside of the frame:


Then using this pulley from the Impala will make a turn going towards the middle of the truck towards the brackets I lost! Then I need another pulley like this; maybe I can get something at ACE to make work.




The two cables that come off of the backing plate aren't any good; they're very rusty and not useable. They appeared to be factory, even had a grease fitting(someone forgot to grease it!).

And can someone please identify this rear axle?




questions:
I found the factory cables that come off of the backing plate on Ebay for 130. but are there other cables that come off of a backing plate that will work?
I can purchase the entire parking brake system for a 73 Impala off of ebay for 130.00, but I don't know how much of it I could actually use.

This has me stumped, I don't know how to proceed on this; it appears to be easy. Any advice would be much appreciated!dne'
