Holy crap so THAT's what I'm missing. I have aftermarket rough country lift springs and my front spring packs like to get all crooked with eachother (like a deck of poorly stacked cards) and every so often I go under there with a light hammer and knock them back into shape. Lol I knew it wasn't right, but never knew there was something specifically out there to fix/prevent this issue

@Powerhouse Ranch,

That's like the leaf spring clips, I bet they're not out there. I'm smelling a long fruitless journey already. People end up having to make them themselves, heck, all you'd need is what looks like some 3/16" thick bar stock, measure it out, put the bar in a vice, heat it up, bend it over in 2" sections, drill a couple of holes and go to Lowe's buy a bolt and they do have sleeve material over in the specialty hardware section, and if not go over to the metals section where they have the angle iron, round stock, and all thread, and find you some tubing the size of the bolt and you've made your own! Screw it!

I'll probably have to do this.

Though I do work in a machine shop, I suppose I could get fancy with it lol

you see that's the thing. i currently have just one on the driver side front, the rest fell off when the po had it and he put hose clamps on them instead! I don't know much about them besides they probably hold the leaves together better, but how many should i have? Depend on age or how much weight i have or is it like two per spring? what do you know about them?

hmm. i will inspect my intact spring packs for an answer, the ones that are in pieces will likely be misleading LOL

@sirweesarunch told me above two per spring and i may just replace my one, so 4 fronts and 4 backs, i believe the rears might be a little beefier? I don't know it is a 1/2 ton, springs aren't too impressive. perhaps there is a difference though

So i measured, the fronts are 2 1/2 inches wide by 2 3/4 inches tall (4 of those) and the rears will be 2 1/2 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches tall (4 of those)

WELL WHILE WE'RE HERE:

I would like to put a step bumper on the back of my Jimmy. . . . Is this possible???\

Now i know that the normal bumpers bolt onto the frame and the frame brackets in for different locations, but is the frame and everything the same width to use a pickup step bumper & are the holes there to line up? Has this been done? Surely it has. . .

Someone on here just did this to a suburban??.....close to a Jimmy/ Blazer??

Its hard to find any info on Dina’s on the internet. I have a buddy in Guadalajara whom i visited back in 1991 and they had one as a shop truck. The rear tail gate and lights are more like a 67’ the rest is pure squarebody. All the guages are in spanish. The motor is straight six AMC type motor or typical to a jeep. 3 speed manual tranny. 1/2 ton short bed. Cool little trucks. There are larger flatbed models and some are rumored to be sporting Perkins diesels. I’ll keep digging for info.

I have also heard about an option for the truck rear window to be a power slider... not like a side to side slide, but a solid window where the entire window could slide up and down. Only available in the South American variants as far as I know.
