We are missing four hardware parts of the parking brake and they've been discontinued. I'm wondering if there is another 4x4 Nissan vehicle that has interchangeable hardware in the rear brake parking brake area that we can look for because it's hard to find a truck like mine around here and I'm almost impossible to find parts for some of some parts for it.

Finding replacement parts for older vehicles like your 1987 Nissan Truck can be challenging, especially if the parts have been discontinued. However, there may be some interchangeable parts from other Nissan trucks or SUVs that you can explore. Here are some options to consider:

Check with a Nissan dealership: The dealership may be able to check their database to see if there are any compatible parts from other Nissan models that may work in your truck.

Search salvage yards or online classifieds: You may be able to find a similar Nissan truck or SUV in a salvage yard or online classifieds and salvage the parts you need.

Consider aftermarket parts: There may be aftermarket parts available that are compatible with your truck. You can check with auto parts stores or online retailers that specialize in aftermarket parts for older vehicles.

Consult with a mechanic or restoration specialist: An experienced mechanic or restoration specialist may have knowledge about which parts from other Nissan models are interchangeable with your truck.

Keep in mind that while parts from other Nissan models may be compatible with your truck, there may be slight differences in fit or function, so it's important to ensure that the part is a suitable replacement before purchasing or installing it.
