Ash tray springs available?

Anybody know where I could get a couple of the little springs that hold the ash tray closed?

I looked in the LMC catalog and also Cheyenne but didn't see anything.

Thanks in advance -

Have you tried Classic Parts? I know I've seen those springs for sale, but I can't remember where at the moment.

I don't think you are going to find them for that specific app.

Classic Parts had some for an '88 and up that looked pretty close; I ordered a couple of those and will give them a try.

Re: Ash tray springs available?

let us know if they work. I usually get them out of the junkyard.

They worked great, by the way - just like they were made for this application.
