Brake pedal return spring picture

Any one have a picture to share? While climbing underneath my Panel truck today, I noticed that my brake pedal is missing the return spring. Need a picture to see where it connects on the pedal and to where else.

I did a search on FTE, but coudn't come up with a post that had a picture.

Greatly appreciated.

It hooks to the linch pin on the pedal pivot and the other end connects to the hole in the dust cover between the engine and trans. There is an empty hole on the dust shield just for that - located about 8 o'clock looking from the rear.

I crawled under several trucks in a junk yard to find that info several years ago.

That's about the same as what I read in previous posts. I'm just a visual person and a picture would tell me everything. However, your description tells me what I need to know. Thanks!

Here's a shot from my low mileage 50 F4 226 six that should be stock - about the same as the V8 but attaches more like 9 o'clock
