WTB:Horn part Bellville spring to fit '78
Yo! Y'all!
Only thing that FRANKENTRUCK lacks is a Belleville spring for the horn. I have a couple of older ones, but at 2 5/8" they are too large for the two spoke, '78 steering wheel. I need one that's nearer 2 3/8" (hard to measure the wheel, but that's close,...can't be a ton of different sizes of Belleville springs for late 70's Chevy horns! Here's a '73 Bellevile spring next to it's other parts: It won't fit this wheel: which was missing ALL it's horn parts. Anybody have any leads? Search has not been helpful at all,...but "Belleville spring" is not something that provides many leads! Thanks, Todd.

I have a '77 project I'm working on. I pretty sure that I have one laying around. I'll check this weekend. I know this may sounds strange but which piece is it? Or is it both of them?

By-the-way, I love your truck. We had a 78 3/4 ton 4x4 on the ranch we lived on when I was a kid and it was a beast. You're truck reminds me of it. Awesome job!

Yo! Thanks re: FRANKENTRUCK! It sure turned out the way I'd pictured it, but was along haul! The twin-stick NP205/TH400 is one great combination. Got REALLY lucky on the wheels! And, once again, the engine build turned out just as nice as the first one (that's in my '76 Camaro).
I need the part on the right, the "Belleville spring": That's not as large as this one (I think it needs to be about 2 5/16 to 2 3/8"): And fits into the recess in this type of steering wheel: Posting here, PM'ing me on this forum, or emailing wetminkey@hotmail.com will work great! Let me know how much you might want for the spring. Thanks, Todd.

I didn't get a chance to get to my truck this weekend but will be out there either this afternoon or tomorrow afternoon to check it out for you. I want to make sure I have one for you!
