Default Parking brake question

Tried researching this here and over on LS1.com with no luck. Although I did take pics, so hopefully someone sees something I'm missing.

The issue is that the PO of my camaro removed all of the parking brake compenents. I order the new brake shoes and clip, but realized I'm still missing the component that pushes on the brake shoe tips to expand the brake shoe. Check out the pics below and see if you notice anything missing, and more importantly, where the hell I can find it without going broke. The last pic is one I found on LS1.com. Thanks in advance!

lot of dirt and corrosion there. what year vehicle ?
well your backing plate has the clip screwed on and from the 3rd pic,the actuating lever is still in,all other parts still required. you might have to pull the axles to get the brake shoe past the axle.

Its a 2001 SS. Looks like all I need is the adjusting nut and tappet, and maybe a new back plate? I'll start with that. Thanks for the help.
