Z-bar return springs on a C-10 with the SM465

[Disco]

Hey all. I have a 78 I'm reviving, and one thing I need (it's actually one of the reasons it got parked 14 years ago) is the long spring that goes from the clutch fork to what appears to be the z-bar (mine is broken, so I'm not sure). I can get that one from here:

I see there's a second spring off the z-bar, and I'm guessing that even though it's not broken, it's probably weak and needs replacing while I'm under there. Can someone tell me what that second spring is called and/or shoot me a link where I can order one?

I'm not sure what it would be called either. Clutch rod spring? Perhaps @AuroraGirl knows off hand what the manual calls it.

That’s an excellent question

I can try ad see but sadly not off top of head

I'm pretty sure this is the second spring you need.

I'm currently doing a 4 speed trans swap right now too. There are two springs on the clutch fork

Large spring - goes from small square bracket on bottom outboard end of clutch fork forward to hole in frame under driver side shock mount. It keeps the clutch fork pulled forward.

Small spring - goes from small hole on top of clutch fork to the bottom hole on Z-bar next to the adjustable push rod. It keeps the small adjustable rod from falling out of the Z-bar

I found alot of the linkage parts at USA1 truck parts and 4 speed conversions.
