All good stuff.
Marshall, the Ford Reference Book V85 for 1937, pages 55-57, has a decent description of how to adjust the brakes. It doesn't include any info about the clevis adjustment, but the description implies (to me) that there should be no free play when the emergency brake is disengaged.
I recently restored my brakes to mechanical (someone hacked them to hydraulics) and they work great. I will now go check to ensure all the cotter pins are installed!
