My truck didn't have them. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,554 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,554 | Look at Tim Sheridans site, he has lots of pictures, here is where to look, the pictures are not to far down in this link. I could not find original springs, tried all over to get something suitable with no luck. What I settled on for my 41are the springs out of the tie rod ends, maybe someone else has a source but that is what I did. I had lots of them laying around after rebuilding mine. Hope that helps.

I never could find any true comparable springs. Unfortunately it is one of the items that often gets pitched when a farmer/bubba replaces an engine. They show up once in a while though, keep hunting. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 | I just got done doing my 53 GMC support and the springs look a lot like SBC valve springs only shorter .You could take them and shorten two of them.
