Default parking brake lever

Anyone know where I can get one or two parking brake levers to go in 10" drums on a 67? I have one, but the PO apparently tossed the other with the rest of the brakes in the middle of a brake rebuild that never got finished 20 years ago. I had only left side rear brakes when I took it all apart, and only right side fronts. Everything else was gone. I guess that's why it sat in a barn for so long!
Anyway I need the lever that attaches to the primary shoe and connects to the parking brake cable. MU has nothing, and even NAPA does not have it (unless Starfury knows something). I could probably get one used, but I would love to get new ones.
I am so close to driving this car I can taste it, but to quote my father again "Its a journey not a race."

Colorado Mustang is a large mustang bone yard. I'll bet they can set you up.

By the way, That mountain range that makes up your backdrop looks awfully familiar. Almost just like the mountain that sit to the east of Salt Lake. The Wasatch Front.

Thanks photocliff, I'm gonna try locally first, but that's a good source if I need it.
The mountain range was chopped into my sig for me. I don't know where it is. Sorry. I don't even live in the mountains, but it looks good on the dusty old vert. It's a bit cleaner now, and next week I hope to drive it out of the garage and take some more pics for a new sig. But first I have to finish the brakes!!!

I was just reading in one of my books that rear brake shoes sometimes come with the parking brake lever (or did in the 70's when the book was written). Is this still true at all? I might just buy a new set of shoes if that was true.

I couldn't find them at NAPA either and had to pull a pair from a late '70s Granada at a junkyard.
