Looking for the top spring clamps for my truck, there are 2 on each of the springs.
Was removing the spring to do some suspension work and one of the clamps broke off
Let me know if you have some for sale, just need one but would buy all four

You might have to do a McGiver and retrofit something from a newer truck. Boneyards would be best but good luck trying to find something that old.You could try outfits which sell aftermarket suspension upgrades.

I believe he means front coils. There is a clamp at the top of the spring.

The truck is 2 wheel drive, orange, big block, water cooled, manual transmission.
Hope this provides enough information!!

Also it is not the u-bolts, it is the upper 2 clamps that hold the front springs in place.

Thanks for your responses
