Al Peterson Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have a favor to ask of the community... I have a 1947 Dodge WC truck. The cowl vent lever is broken and I'd like to fab up a new one, unfortunately, we don't have any other WC's in my area(Northern MN) for me to get a pattern from. I was hoping one of our fellow DT/PT owners could snap a picture of theirs and post it here on the forum. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Jerry Roberts Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Al , If you don't get a photo here , go to the yahoo web site forum for the 1939 - 1947 Dodge trucks . there is a large photo section there and they probably have a photo of the vent mechanism on file . I was missing my vent handle and made one from a butter knife , it looks pretty rinky-dink but it is hidden under the dash and only the nice butter knife handle shows . You will need to sign up on the Yahoo site . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Roberts Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Note that part of the mechanism has two shallow notches in it , that is so the vent can be opened to the half way position or full open . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Peterson Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Awesome! Thanks Jerry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Priest Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Go to Vintage Powerwagon site and check their catalog. They sell the cowl vent handle and mechanism used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
