It may be missing. With the floor covering removed look at the panel for the ends of a spread cotter pin or a hole aligned with the throttle linkage rod and replace if necessary.

A few of the trucks I have owned here in Oz have had a piece of rubber screwed to the floor (inside of the cab) where the gas tank filler neck comes through, but this was not a factory fitting. There was a small foam piece which sat on top of the gas tank between the tank and the outside floor section. It can be seen on top of the tank in the manual diagram attached. Brian (JBNEAL) pointed you in the right direction... he even made a template for that piece called 'seal 14-86-60' (see attached photo). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5027 steve Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Ok return spring is in pretty bad shape ...is that a parts store thing???? Just a throttle return spring ...didn't see one on Dcm website....steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Control Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Just a thought, I have seen some books showing 2 return springs, one going over to the inner fender with the other going to the toe board. I think but not positive, a second spring is for safety. If you lose a spring, the carb goes to wide open throttle. Dangerous driving situation and possible to damage the motor before you get it shut down. Since I have my toe boards removed for work, I connected spring to inner fender and later will also connect the toe board spring. Some probablly think 2 springs looks goofy ... I dunno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
