The only 2 pieces I had to get from a donor were the transfer bar (The bar that goes between the 2 shoes at the top) and the lever that connects to the rear shoe and the cable attaches to).

Billy,
I agree 100% with Mike & Steve. I just finished going through the rear drums on my old '90 F150 and after my third trip to AutoZone to replace little parts that broke due to 20+ years of rust, wear & tear I learned that for about $30 I would have had mostly all new parts in three "kits" - the spring kit was for both sides at $7.50 and the self-adjustor was side specific at $10. If you get the transfer bar & spring plus the lever & retaining pin from a salvage yard you'll be in good shape. As Steve says, the Lokar kit is very easy to use, and shortening the cables to fit your application is drop-dead simple - even I managed it
