Where to source F1 vent window frames?
I can't find them anywhere. LMC truck sells everything but the frames. Looks like no one reproduces them. If you know where I can find them, or you have some laying around you'd like to sell please let me know. Thanks fellas!

I have a set but they need to be rebuilt. both sides the chrome is rusted and the one, the pivot broke but it can be fixed. I'll post a couple of pics. See if you're intrested. They need to be sandblasted and the pivot welded.I also have the matching *****.

His profile said CO. Correct me if I am wrong, but all cab models between 48-52, wind wing windows, should be the same, except maybe COE. Check craigslist around different cities for someone parting a truck. chuck

And to my understanding you are correct, 48-52 have the same shape wings. To my understanding 48-50 had painted frame and non locking wings latch. 51-52 had chrome frames and a locking latch on the wing window. Here the set I'm going to use, it is the 51-52 with the push button locking latch:

Nevermind, a set was listed on Ebay yesterday. I had to pay more than I wanted using "buy it now", but they're in good shape and I didn't want to risk not finding another set for months.

51-52 are only chrome if the truck had the 5-Star Deluxe package. Otherwise, they were painted.

Anyone find a source? Mine are not too good but if need be I might be stuck re-using them.
