Anybody driving an AD truck, tried to replace the spring on your hood latch? This is the latch that suppose to catch if-n-your hood desides to go airborn while goin down the road bout 55 mph. Any help would be much appreciated!!! Mike
It's a pi$$er ~ I'm sure some Hot Rod supply place has them , most just wind one up out of Music Wire....
Thanx Nate! I did find one. It's a replacement spring and pin from Jim Carters. Tried Classic pts. but no dice. Maybe nexttime. Mike
Here you go Andy. Havent rec'd them yet but they are coming from Jim Carters Truck parts. oldchevytrucks.com FPH108 HOOD LATCH SPRING 47-55 W/CLEVIS PIN SET 1 SPRING AND 1 CLEVIS PIN I hope this is the part. I tried to explain to the sales desk and she seemed pretty smart about the parts and knew what i was talking about,so I will c in about 4 or 5 days.
Just got my spring and clevis clip in and it worked GREAT! The easiest thing to repair on my '48 cheby truck in bout 10 years and it only cost $10 plus s&h . Good luck! Mike
