Hello Hal,
The only thing that we have is recommended for trailer brakes. I am not saying that it won't work, but by installing it on a different application would void the warranty because it is not made for vehicles.
We have the Dexter Parking Brake Kit with Breakaway for Hydraulic Drum Brakes # T2385200, but like I said that is for trailers.
I would try reaching out to a company that has parts for vintage trucks, they will know the parts you need for this kind of conversion.
