Wiper Linkage Clip

Does anybody know where to get this clip that hold the wiper linkage to the wiper motor? The tab on mine broke and looks like it won't stay on for long. Thanks for any advice.....

I used a c clip for it. Hasn't come off yet. I lost the original one a long time ago.
You can buy them at any hardware store.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

GMC 72, that is very nice of you, but I'm hoping to get something a little quicker, putting the wiper linkage back together and getting the cowl put back on is pretty much the last thing I need to do to get back on the road again. Been 1-1/2 years since it first went into paint, and now I'm almost there. Appreciate the offer though.

Andy, that's a great idea! A quick trip to ACE or Oreilly and done. Thanks for that suggestion, you are the 21st century Macgyver!

Thanks, but not really just been there before and knew what to use.

Re: Wiper Linkage Clip

Andy, your C clip suggestion works great, seems even better than the specialty clip GM originally used. Less than a buck at ACE with plenty of sizes to choose from. Nice tip, now why didn't I think of that??
