Vent window help

Vent windows
I did get spare parts this week, just wanted to re-enforce the proper install as posted by Julie.
In hind sight I wouldn't throw any thing away again, these parts are harder and harder to come by. I don't how I would have managed to install vent windows if I hadn't found the frames at a wrecker.
Always someone looking for a rare piece to complete their project.

Yours had a washer between the window stop and the frame in the upper half. Mine had one on both sides of the frame - that's the "Extra" washer I called out in Post #16 above.
However oddly, the body parts catalogue only calls out one of the two. On yours it was assembled above the frame, I reassembled mine below the frame to act as a bushing for the spring pressure and deleted the additional washer - works very smoothly.

Well, you'll need more than just a spring and a nut. The upper washer that goes on the shaft but inside the "loop" under the frame is tear drop shaped and has a square hole in it. That's what prevents you from opening the window two far. Then in progression downward, there is a slip (thin and wide) washer, the spring, another slip wahers, then a regular cut washer and a castleated locking nut.
I'm not sure what the kits include, but in the drawings of the various vent windows the pieces and th enumber of pieces are different. I'll do a little more research and get back to you. Mine are currently out of the truck so I can get some good photo's for you as well.

About once every month the pivot bolts show up on e-bay. Vent windows themselves show up there about once every three months.
I'd check on e-bay and look at guys who are selling lots of parts from a newly acquired parts truck. They may have a set but not have them listed.
There are two guys with trucks parting out selling stuff at the moment. One here in San Diego - it's a 51/2 panel I believe, and the other is a 48-50 in Kingman Ca. He parts out lots of these trucks. He has a couple hoods and some doors up for sale currently.
You may want to send a PM to "51 PanelMan" to ask if he has any at the moment.

Just FYI, these showed up on e-bay today.
