'57 Vent Window Frames

The pivot on my vent window frames is rotted about halfway through. Does anyone know if the frames are made aftermarket?

AFAIK, not reproduced...and there are two different types.

1957/58 vent frames could be stainless steel or painted.

They would be very easy to rebuild. If you don't have the tools a machine shop could do it fairly cheep.

Lol. Just going by what's in the manual.

It does look terrible to make one. I may actually be able to clean it up and use the tig to build up the material. Going to try it tonight.
