    lock nut/clips

    Yes you need the lock nut and the clip but i would advice you to buy another one and not weld the old broken one.

    You could send an e.mail or phone Patrick Dykes at Patricks Antique Cars & Trucks AR. or you can send a pm. to DeadZoneTruckin (Joe) here at this forum. I am shore they can help you out with used spare ones.

    NO WELDING ! :eek: that will ruin things beyond repair .

    On the unlikely chance that Joe or Patrick can't fix you up , look in older posts from Hod Rodders as they think Torque Tubes are junk , being big , ugly , greasy and heavy , so they'll usually sell cheaply or give them away .

    Please mention where you're located as some one may be near you with what you need .......

    I kept the torque tube off of my project truck. If I didn't have to damage what you need when I removed it from the truck, you're welcome to it. Can you post photos?
