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!

Add your location so someone might be in your area... And no. No one is reproducing them. I had found a set from a owner on FTE and had them shipped to me... Good luck...

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

LOL... My bad! I didn't see a location on the top of the his post and to lazy to go to his profile to look... Not really just didn't think it was filled out...

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.
