1950 cowl vent Install Drawing?

Hello,
I am confused here, I took my cowl vent apart from my 1950 ford f-47 canadian verson of the (f-1)a few months ago so i could spray evrything red and put a new gasket arround it but, i forget how it installs with reguards to the handle mechanisim. Does anybody have a shop manual that would scan a photo of the parts lay-out diagram for me?
Please help me
thanks sean conroy

I have not seen anything that explains the installation (though someone may know of one) but it is kinda like a chinese puzzle. I remember that once I finally got mine back in place I said "now how did I do that?" Ha!

I ran across this thread the other day. It might help. Bob describes how to remove one in good detail. Maybe you can use it to see how to put it back.

Another tip -- don't lube the friction assembly, or you will be constantly reaching down to raise the vent back up. Better it squeaks and stays put than dropping down on every bump!

How can you not have a shop manual for your truck? It's essential and worth every penny.

Searching for cowl vent screen for 50 F1 and saw this post. I have been doing some gathering up on an F1 my brother purchased and was searching for replacement screen. So, being the antagonist that I am, I have to say that the first thing I did when I got his truck in my shop was order a copy of the factory manual. the one I have for my 53 F100 has an excellent breakdown of cowl vent. The 48-50 manual has NOTHING.

I should also have the assembly with a good screen but without the top cover available.

Cowl handle bolt

I removed my cowl vent and over a year later I'm reinstalling it. I got it back in after a little time and words but now I can't find the bolt and nut to put slide and lever back together any help on where I can buy one? Thanks

Here’s the drawing I posted in the link mentioned above. The bolt is a simple bolt, the round nut is a little odd. I’ll check to see if I have an extra one.

I have to stand corrected. I just took a cowl vent assembly apart today. My drawing is missing the final nut. On the one I took apart today ther is a castle type lock nut threaded onto the end of the bolt. If I remember I’ll take a picture tomorrow.

I sand blasted and took mine apart to paint today. I took pictures to show how it bolts back together.
