1978 Supercab Back Window Vent Hinge

Howdy. I've combed the internet looking for the hinge for the drivers side back window of my Supercab and I can't find the vent hinge anywhere. Used to be part number 303A24. Anyone know where to source one? My last option is the junk yard, but this AZ heat isn't kind to plastic bits, which is why I'm looking for one in the first place. Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

This is the latch .. not the hinge.

Basic part number 303A24
D4TZ-10303A24-B .. Left (drivers side) Quarter Window Latch - Shown as basic part number 303A24 in pic / Obsolete

1974/79 F100/350 Super Cab.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any, none on ebay.

OP posted the parts catalog pic, said he wanted the hinge, but the number he wants: 303A24 is the latch. No one reproduces it.

See post #2.

I have been looking as well with no luck. Are the gaskets interchangeable between the fixed window and the vented window?

I have a really nice rust free cab I literally can't give away. I'll give you a latch if you want it.

1970/77 Maverick/Comet & 1971/80 Pinto/Bobcat is D0DZ-62303A24-C R/L same, but not the same as 1974/79 Super Cab that is Right D4TZ-10303A24-A & Left D4TZ-10303A24-B specific.

Where are you at? I might be able to help you out with that problem if you're somewhat close.

I am sure the above is correct, but just so you know, the diagram I got...well I got it from YOU (of course) and am pretty sure you said that is where to get an alternate latch. That is why I saved it and have posted it in the past and this time. So the Maverick/comet latch will NOT work? Noted and I will toss out that diagram since that latch will not work on a truck.

440 sixpack is in Oregon, so says his profile anyway. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/member.php?u=866868

The latches are different, but 30212 .. 302A12 .. 30330 are the same.

Sorry about the icon, I was going to remove it, but you'd already seen it.

Got it no problem, so just to double check that if a guy needs a SC pop out window latch, one from a 73-77 Maverick G body 62 will NOT work. Correct? I am glad you have a handle on all this part # jazz, it makes my eyes bleed. lol

I love doing this jazz, as long as it's before 1980.

Beginning in 1980, Ford began to use metric hardware, engines are identified by liters, and...

You cannot look up emissions related parts without the vehicles specific Calibration Code, a royal PITA!!!

Plus after 1981, the front and rear spring load rates aren't listed.
