Projects Looking for part

Hello everyone. I am trying to find a part but cannot locate an actual part number or identification of it. After scouring the internet, I finally found a pic but need help in locating one.
I have a 56 Chevy truck and part of the parking brake assembly there is a pin that connects a lever to the frame. On the pic is listed as part 8.900. I cannot locate it using that number. Does anyone know a current part number for it? Thanks

 

That's the group number. Once you get to know the Chevy parts catalog, you'll figure out how it works...you look in the 8.900 group to find the part number. And since the 8.900 group is standard parts (bolts, clevis pins, etc), good luck...

If it's the clevis pin you need, I could probably measure mine, but you could just as easily measure the hole diameter and outside of the clevis to see what OD and length pin you need, and purchase one at you local hardware store. If it's a bolt you need, same thing, figure out what size you need, buy a bolt. There is more than one 8.900 on that drawing, circled in red.

 

Thanks for responding. It’s the actual rod/bolt that passes through and I believe had a spring on the end and held in place with the Clevis pin

 

I miss read it. I will look for the clevis pin. Thanks

 

This?

The suggestion above, measure what you need and visit the local hardware store is good advice.

 

That might be it. I believe mine has a groove around the end of it. Thanks.

 

The filling station shows a couple or maybe the same one twice.

I'd stick the right size bolt through the clevis, mark how long the pin has to be on the bolt and then bolt in hand head to the hardware store to find the correct pin. If a farm equipment dealer is closer than ACE you might check there as farm equipment uses a lot of clevis pins. m

 

I don't think GM has had an actual printed catalog for group 8.900 standard hardware for a number of years. But the same info should still be listed as such in their electronic catalogs. Try bringing some donuts or Dilly Bars in to your neighborhood GM parts department and one of the older parts guys may be willing to show you some of the wide assortment of nuts, bolts, screws and washers that you can order thru GM Parts. Plus an amazing variety of fairly specialized retainers, clips, clamps, fittings, springs, electrical terminals and connectors, bulk tubing and hose, and even things like plastigage and gear marking compound.

But there's some things you need to remember.

1. For the most part you can't look up these items by vehicle application. For bolts and nuts and such you'll need to supply the required hardware dimensions and grade. It helps if you can read mics and calipers and thread pitch and understand fastener terminology.

2. Don't expect the hardware to look exactly like what was used in '59 or '63 or whatever year. GM doesn't care that you're trying to make your vehicle look like it was built 60 years ago.

3. Some of this stuff isn't going to be cheap. The more common hardware items are likely to be bulk packed in quantities of 10 or 25 or 100 pieces. But if you really need some odd sized shoulder bolt of a specific diameter with a fine thread pitch and an Allen head it may not be too painful to buy a pack of five.

 

Is it on the brake handle side or the rod in the engine bay side.

BTW here's some reading material.
