Ok, so I'm swapping out drum brake shoes and drums. . . and Springs. . . .and guides. . . .and so on. anyway, I've got almost everything I need, but there is one broken spring that I can't seem to find a replacement. the service manual called it an anti rattle spring. Anyone know where I can cetera one?

I got this kit on ebay....

☛☛ Mopar Rear 10" Drum Brake Total Hardware Rebuild Kit A-Body Dart Duster 'Cuda | eBay

Everything you need for both drivers and passenger side.
 
They are oval shaped, and have a little tab at the end. I saw in someone's tutorial that if they break, they are hard to find If you loose it everything will operate fine,but but a little louder.

Those were not in the kit but the other links the other members posted had them and the latest link you posted as well.....Your all set.
 
I didn't see that spring in the eBay one either.

I did end up finding them sold separately at O'Reillys as an ebrake strut bar spring. I think that may not be in anyour of the kits, because it's an ebrake part???

Yes, that's the E-brake apply strut, and is part of the E-brake hardware. It will function perfectly w/o the spring if none is available, you may or may not hear the strut
rattle over sharp bumps w/o it. They are available however, so....
