Need help finding parking brake levers

I'm in the need of a pair of parking brake levers for my 87 v20
I'm in the middle of doing a rear brake job and just found out that who ever did the last brake job didn't hook up the e-brake cable and removed the parking brake lever along with the drum brake bar. I bought a new pair of brake bars but the auto part stores don't sell the levers. Looks like i need to find a wrecking yard. My question is will other years or makes and modle parking brake levers work?

Re: Need help finding parking brake levers

Rock Auto or NAPA should be able to get them, depending on which axle. Some parts are getting hard to find for the 9 1/2 SF.

I wish they had it all. But it doesn't look like they have this part. They don't call out a part numbesr for the parking brake lever.

Re: Need help finding parking brake levers

I can't believe this part is that hard to find. Every wrecking yard i called today say's they don't have anything this old.
Looks like i will be trying the gm dealer tomorrow

It is NOT the pedel I need. It's the parking brake lever that the e-brake cable hooks to and then the lever attaches to the drum brake pad. I need them for both sides.
