By clicking on the edit link at the top right hand side of your post. That takes you to your post page and under the bunch of icons you will see a grey box that says "change this post" and "delete this post".

If the brake lever is releasing far enough, it should almost touch the pin that holds brake shoes to backing plate. I'm assuming you got the cross bar from another 11 inch brake setup? That's what the truck has, no? Also, you have adjuster cable in between return springs instead of behind them both, although that's not related to brake lever isssue. Be certain the cables are releasing all the way, you may have to back adjuster off at cable, stuffs probably frozen(rust)

You mean this? I believe that part is supposed to be like that. It gives the spring that goes there more surface to ride on.
OOps. after looking at pics and comparing to others I realize the spring goes on the opposite as I was thinking. But as you no doubt have found, that piece is supposed to have that little bent tab But heres a fairly good pic of what they should look like

Self adjuster isn't necessary but the crossbar is.
Not to hijack, buuuuutttt, how will the brakes act if you don't have a crossbar in? I don't, but I haven't driven my car yet, having problems getting to bleed.
