Hi Guys,

I'm looking for the two **spring assists* for a 1984 K5. I'm talking about the interior ones that bolt to the bed of the truck and the interior of the tailgate.

Let me know if you can help!

Thanks!

I've got what you need. Let me snap a couple of pics later to make sure we're on the same page.
 
thanks for the replies guys. LMC does sell them, but they are awfully pricey. I figure someone has to have some on a parts truck they could let go for less.

Thanks Kota4bye! I appreciate your time
 
Hey guys,

Two apologies: First, I've been out of pocket for a bit, sorry if I haven't replied to your PM or post.

Secondly, I'm not sure I'm telling you guys the right thing (and I'm not sure I circled the right thing in the LMC page). So, just to be clear, I have the actual hinges on the gate (they are holding my gate on right now), but:

What goes in these holes circled in red? I though that was some kind of tailgate hinges, lowering assist or something. Anybody know?

Is your tailgate heavy as hell? Pretty sure that is where the spring assist goes.....mine was cut off years ago, so I'm no help.
 
Thanks for the info British Slave

MudbogginK5, could you post or PM me pictures please?

Thanks!
