I have a 1983 C10 (Single square headlight) that I acquired completely in pieces. It was tore down to the frame by the previous owner and he began a restoration before he ran out of money/steam.
This is my first C10 ever and I'm learning as I go. I have managed to find info or figure it out myself for fixing/replacing/rebuilding almost everything so far but I can't find any info and cannot figure it out on my own, how the spring installs on the headlight bucket. Any help or pics would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I know on my 4 headlight set up the spring is on the lower driver's side of the bucket. Sorry I don't have a photo.

Each bucket has a hole for the spring to slip into, then there is a pocket for each spring, in the core support. They'll all be located on the "inside" of the light, it's either going to have them both in the center or both on the bottom inside corner, I can't remember anymore lol.

So either like the left or right side.
