I have just purchased these clips from Chevy of the 40s 800 999-2438 the
part number was 475508 and it was called pin lock-shoe pins they cost $3.00
for 2. Talk to them to make sure this is the correct part for you . The
catalog shows that they are for the 1930-1952.
Good Luck,

Kevin, I found some of the huck clips by going around to brake stores and
old auto parts stores and showing the oldest guy in the place what I was
looking for. You have to go to the stores run by the same guy for the last
40 or 50 years that are so dusty and cluttered with jumbled obsolete parts
that an inventory control manager would have instant apoplexy . Pep Boys
and that sort of clean, well lighted places will not be any use.
If the place is set up so that the further down toward the floor you go, the
further back in time you are, you know you're getting warm. This is a
branch of Archaeology known as Autopaleontology. Look for the 1940s-1950s
stratum near the bottom.
When you find the clips, buy every one of them the venerable proprietor will
sell you, whether you need them or not. You will probably not get another
chance.
In a pinch, you can double up snap rings, but it isn't right.
Regards,
