Dunkin Posted December 15, 2021 Report Posted December 15, 2021 Howdy, I know this is a stretch, but would anyone have any idea where I might find the mechanism with handle that would open my top front vent on my 1947 Dodge truck? Thanks Quote
Young Ed Posted December 15, 2021 Report Posted December 15, 2021 As far as I'm aware that's only available used from donor trucks. Is yours broken or completely missing?? Quote
46BulldogDodge Posted December 16, 2021 Report Posted December 16, 2021 Here's a link to Phil's Archives in the Dodge Power Wagon forum with info on new windshield regulators being produced by a mom & pop operation. https://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/classifieds/thisolecoupe-110617-winshield-regulator.php That forum has a wealth of info related to the 39-47 Dodge half-tons. Also, the PIF in the header section of the forum page has parts interchange and techniques. Worth checking. Dick Hultman Western PA 1946 WC and 1957 FFPW Quote

It looks like the rod/plate is broken in half. The lever is definitely missing. Quote

This isn't what I am looking for at this time, although after replacing the glass on my front windshield, my mechanism is hanging up a bit. That piece would be the shiniest piece on my rusty truck and you wouldn't even see it.? Quote

I don't know how the whole set up looks since mine was busted before I bought it, but that piece in the center of you picture looks like the piece hanging down from my vent.....at least half of it is. Might be worth a shot since I would bet dollars to donuts that no junk yard near by has an old 1941-1947 Dodge 2 ton waiting to be picked. Quote

Gaige Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 On a side note, I put it in three times. Probably only three ways to put it in and I bolted it together wrong twice. Of. Course, then I looked at the manual. 2 Quote

Dunkin Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Posted January 4, 2022 On 12/17/2021 at 11:05 PM, billrigsby said: Same as Power Wagon? Ebay Expand In reviewing the mechanism in my 1947 2 ton Dodge truck, this looks like the same one that came off of a power wagon. I looked up this listing and it's too bad that it is also broken. May need to have someone weld it back together for me. Quote

Expand You could try calling Windy Hill in New London MN...there are several cabs with the linkage there I THINK. For a fee they might be able to pull parts and ship to you.

Lingle Posted January 7, 2022 Report Posted January 7, 2022 I know some folks are not out there but on the Facebook pages for these trucks there is a guy named Doug C. in Missouri(I think) that sells parts and has a slew of various older Dodge's and is always posting items for sale there, he may be able to help. I cant recall the year spread of the forum so maybe its 48-52 era only, but could be worth a try as an option. 1 Quote
