Stock 87 leaf spring plastic pads replacment options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Not sure what to call these plastic parts, but stock ones are like a playing card with a plastic christmas tree type fitting that goes into the leaf spring. They are found at the edge of the spring and basically keeps the edge from metal to metal. one or more are missing and rubbing metal to metal.

I was wondering if anyone had a link to a product that fit? Im searching and finding some dorman producsts which would be fine, but just doesn't list the c-10 as an application. Just seeing what others might have used.

Ive got this truck down to one or 2 squeeks/rattles

thanks,
Clint
