Hello I have a 1992 flaredside that has been sitting and I'm looking to get it back running again. I want to replace the shoes, drums, and pads and drum hardware kit. I was looking on rockauto and idk what would be the right options for me for example the drum hardware kit has different part numbers even after putting in vehicle information. What would be the best option for these parts the truck occasionally will sit (and rust may be an issue as that's what happened one my previous drums)and drive around the property but will also have days where it will do heavy hauls from home depot etc. I don't know what brands are good I used to go to autozone but I no longer have one near me.
Well, the zone is the WORST place to buy parts, for any vehicle. The best, obviously, are Ford/MotorCraft, and they're not as expensive as you might think. Shop Amazon, ebay, TascaFord, RockAuto, LMCTruck, BroncoGraveyard...
Why exactly do you want to replace those parts? Is there anything specifically wrong with them? Mild rust alone doesn't inhibit them working perfectly. This & the NEXT dozen show how to check the fronts:
The parts should be the same for a flareside and a styleside on a 92. They all use the same 8.8 axle. Here is what you need for the rear to redo everything, regardless if it is 4x4 or not. Plan on another $20 or so for shipping. Depending on how deep you want to go and how many miles it has on it, it is not a bad idea to open up the rear diff to at least change the oil. This will allow you to inspect the overall condition of the ring and pinion, and also the clutch packs if it has a limited slip. If you have any oil dripping from the rear wheel seals, that would be another good reason to open it up so you can pull the shafts and change them out.

I spent a few hours beating the rear driver side with a sledge hammer and my shoes ended up in pieces I think a spring or two flew away and I cracked the lip on the drum so if I'm doing 1 side I'd do the other. It was my dad's truck he passed away in 2015 his neighbor "borrowed" it for 2 years till I repo'd it and he abused the heck out and neglected repairs it needed so I assume if the rear brakes are back the pads are probably metal to metal aswell. Yes its 4x4 I believe its 5.8

That parts list is for both sides - the shoes come as a set and the spring kit does all of the springs and e-brake hardware for both sides.
I'd recommend inspecting the front before ordering parts. The front end tends to be a bit of a rabbit hole parts wise - once you are into it you should probably tend to several other things. For example, if you need new ball joints, then it would be wise to plan on doing new wheel bearings, spindle bearings, axle u joints, seals, etc.
For the engine bay - if it runs good then leave it alone - change the fluids regularly and make sure they are all the right color.

I didn't see anything wrong under the hood except possible nesting in the actual hood and a mouse looking at me last summer and it smells in the cab I don't see no chewed wires no burning when I tried cranking it but an old dead battery that won't charge. I only just now noticed the nesting in the bell housing last week I beat the tires lose rolled it forward maybe 20 ft by pushing to make sure wheels aren't locked. I definitely need to replace the drums shoes and springs idk about anything else yet. Oh except when I pull the park release the handle has no resistance or tension so I put it in 1st and put wood around each tire to make sure it says

I rebuild my rear brakes and I busted a line today driving around on my property. I tried looking in the brakes section can’t seem to find brake line on rock auto am I looking in the wrong place? Is there another site? Also how do I know which parking brake cable is right for me I have no sticker on either door

Look in the Brake section for your truck for "Hydraulic Hose" and you will find the flexible rubber brake hoses. If that is what you are looking for. Your post is not clear on whether you are looking for this or a hard line.

I need the The rubber hose along with the steel line the steel rusted through and the rubber crumbled I have a few leaks actually I probably should run all new lines. I seen some brands are available but not for every section and I don’t see where you can get the steel line?
