I have everything else. Here is a pic from Dad's posts that shows the spring, I am missing, the washer. https://picasaweb.google.com/103098517476416596131/UntitledAlbum12#5566158133092138738What do you guys suggest I do for a washer? I am hoping to make one, or tack one, but I have no idea the purpose of the washer.

I found a flat washer with 40 little slits on the inner ring, and pounded it over with a 3/4 inch black nipple. Slits bent over and did the job. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 | Good fix. That is an internal star washer by the way. What year and model truck do you have? It helps the rest of us understand what you have and need. The washer helps keep the "cup" flat and prevents the nut from distorting the cup when it is tightened.
