Hood assist spring question

Does anyone have a picture of how the hood assist spring mounts to the hood? Mine was missing when I got the truck, I have a replacement spring, just not sure how or where it attaches.

Thanks!

Which one? The front "pop up spring" or the rear hinge springs?

The pop-up spring.

Thanks Rob! Looks like I need to make a clamp to hold the spring in place, now I know how to set it up!

You probably already know this or will figure it out but the end of the spring goes into a hole or indent in the hood; the other end is held by the clamp as you saw.
