I don't know of online access to the FAM? You can get them on Amazon for about $35.You really need one, but here's the page I mentioned. Here's what the parts list shows for the pull back spring. 6-9/16 free length with 50 coils. Supposedly the same spring for 47-54 pickups. There's an extension rod that's about the same length. I'll go try and find the box that mine are in after a bit. FYI, the parts list says that 2 piece rods were used in production, but replaced by the one piece rod in service. The front rod extends thru the cab support, which made probably make it easier to install that rod before setting the cab on the frame. Then just the rear rod needed to be connected to it after the cab was installed instead of threading the longer rod thru the front cab support from underneath.
