67 no-sag spring on drivers side broke! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Crap! And it appears to have been "fixed" at some point in the past. I looked online and in the one catalog I have (I ordered others...LMC, etc) and can't seem to find it. Its the front no-sag spring, that kind of looks like an "L" but not quite, bent a little more. Does anyone know what I am talking about or know where I can get one? Anyone have a spare or two sitting around. I will try and get pics tonight.

I forgot to specify this is in the seat. Sorry...

Could I make something like this work? I think I might...

Do local upholstery shops carry this kind of stuff usually?

I just swapped one of my broken driver's side springs for one in the middle (since no one sits there anyway). Then just MIG welded it back together and then welded an arc welding rod to the underside of the spring for extra insurance. It worked great!
