Parts houses should have Dorman P/N 59207 in stock, it has multiple sets of double springs. Borrowed this pic:
That should work fine. Mine is pretty much like the OP's except that the spring(s) should be in the hole in front of the stud, not on the stud. The setup pictured will not work if the truck is equipped with a 400 transmission, since the kick down switch lived there. He has a manual trans, so it's all good.
