Hi my ashtray is missing the springs, does anyone know where I can get them, or a part number?  Thank you

     You might have to fine some on a junk truck and go and size new ones like Vile said.

Have you tried the local Chevy/GMC parts department?

I got a small flashlight and looked. There are indeed two springs on the ashtray. One on either side. They're about 1-1/4 tall with a coil at the top and the legs have a bend on the end. One end goes into the dash and the other goes into the ashtray.
