I notice the brake shoe retracting spring (2035) seem to be under some of the hand brake linkage. This can effect operation of the hand brake. The spring has to clear everything on both ends of the spring when installed. Just as a guess I would believe the pin on the lever (2103 & 2104) has over ridden the grove it is supposed to fit into on levers 2108 & 2109. It also appears if your vehicle has the passenger type disc rims it is a commercial and not considered a truck. Most of the trucks start at 3/4T
