'59 6 cyl Floor Starter Spring ?

[Tod59]

Hey Guys-

I have a '59 with a 6 cyl. engine and a foot pedal floor starter. The spring is missing on the foot starter brackets (located on the starter)......hard to explain, but if I start my truck using the foot pedal, I have to reach down with my hand and pull the starter foot pedal back manually.....it does not just spring back to where it belongs.

LMC truck sells a spring for the foot pedal starter, but I'm not sure how it hooks up to the starter. Can someone please post a picture?

Thanks
Tod

check all the pivot points and related hardware to make sure it is all free moving, not bent ect.

Thanks, yes, it is free and works great.....just not returning because the previous owner said the spring broke and he never replaced it.

Anyone have a picture of your starter and hardware with the spring attached?
