The clips are available for the 1/2 Ton trucks but I don't know about the springs. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 97 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 97 | I am looking for the clips and so far haven't found them. Where can I find them [for my 46]? I buggered them up a little when taking them off and would rather go back with fresh new ones.
thanks,
Lane

Sometimes they will break if someone got mad and really buggered them up when they couldn't figure how they worked, while his wife was yelling at him for the stench emulating from the garage, during tax season.

I need those tiny clips that hold the top of the spring shown in the diagram altho' like Carl says they may be fixable as mine are not messed up too badly ..... really just wanted new ones as it wouldn't take much for them not to hold as they are kinda' gimpy to begin with and hold a stout spring in place. Oh yeah, Carl you are right on about the aroma 'in the neighborhood' of tax season!
