I thought this was the forum for my truck, sorry it offended you.

I also have it posted on Facebook and looked at several forums on the internet but everyone I looked at do not answer my question.

I don’t think anyone took offense to your post but were simply suggesting where you have the best chance of finding the info you need. Also, if you post some pictures of the parts in question you will make it easier for folks to answer. People on these forums are eager to help when they can.

thank you that photo is what I was looking for, the gentlemen I bought the truck from had the spring in upside down? or rather on the bottom of the pin assembly, I could not get the handle and pin out of my old hood, making it confusing to replace it.
