Does anyone know if the 39 hood springs are the same as another year? Our 39 is missing one spring and I want to know if other years may fit. If so I can expand my search.
Thanks,
Lou

It may be different for different series cars. I know the hoods vary in length for the 1942's as there are three different length chrome strips for them. Different lengths mean different weights and possibly different springs??

Folks- 1939 LaSalle and series 61 Cadillac used the same pair of springs (143 4082). Cadillac was still experimenting with how best to support an open hood, so the 1940 series 50 LaSalle has a separate number; and I know for sure that the other 40 Cads  and series 52 LaSalle are very different. Same for pre-39 Cads.
So, no usable interchange for the small-bodied 39s, I guess.
Sorry 'bout that.

Just checked the only other GM early parts book I have, and Olds (48 and earlier)  doesn't list that number either.

As  mentioned previously, Jade Mfg. Co, custom makes springs.  If you have a sample, they can duplicate it.  Give them a call to see if they can help - (734) 942-1462.  Located in Romulus, MI.  http://www.jademfg.com/

Our car is in Indiana and we are in Florida until mid May.
If we don't have the dimension by then, I'll get it.
Thanks,
