After all these years finally....

Bought the truck 15 years ago. Finished and on the road, having fun
then the brake pedal return spring snaps....where do I find a replacement. Nearest thing I find is LMC but they show a clutch pedal return spring.
Are they the same size? My truck is auto with vacuum power assist.

Clutch pedal return spring is WAY bigger. Either your local salvage yard or hardware store.

Re: After all these years finally....

8Door - I have a complete brake pedal assembly for an auto transmission setup that I swapped out for a brake & clutch assembly in my 72 Blazer. I believe it still has the spring on it. Not sure if this assembly is the same as the one in your earlier truck, but I would send you the spring if you are interested. Shoot me a PM.
