Spring retainer

Howdy all,
I'm tryin to help my friend out. He has a 79 F250 4x4. He has the front locking hubs torn apart. The only thing holding him up are the spring retainers. His are pretty well worn and hes in the market for new ones. Problem is nobody sells them. Not Ford, not Mopar, none of the major parts stores either. Is there anywhere he can go. We've been looking for driveline shops in our area that carry Dana parts but can't find any. Thanks very much.

I do a lot of "research" in the off-road magazines. There are a lot of businesses that cater to mods and parts on 4X4's.

The first link was for the spring retainers.
This one is for the dana.
You didn't state which dana in the O/p.

I don't think that there are any new parts available for those locking hubs. You may be able to source some good used pieces or complete assemblies from a wrecking yard.

The best route though would be to upgrade to aftermarket locking hubs such as Warn or MileMarker.
