Side vent spring? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

One of the springs in my side vent is broken. I cannot find a replacement - looked at LMC, Classic, CPP, everywhere.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement?

I don't have a spare but someone else might. Some of the guys take the side vent off and fill it in to "smooth off" the side of the cab forgetting that the side vent flows a lot of air going down the road. One of them might still have one. All of my spare cabs except the one I am using the cowl off are 51 and later cabs.

I was going to try there and see what I could find. Didn't know if I was overlooking somewhere or they didn't remake them.
