I am looking for the vent window hing bolt, spring and nut for a 1950 F1-f3. If anyone has it or know where to find please let me know. Thanks

 

It's part of the glass frame, welded on like a stud. The parts CD doesn't show it as a separate piece, either.

Thanks guys. I still need the spring and nut for it.

 

The only spring, nut and etc I can find (and I found lots of them) is for 1953/56.

I do not know if this is the same parts as 1949/52.

This is considered a body part, and the catalog that covers 1944/52 body parts is very hard to find.

Carpenter doesn't have these parts listed in his catalog.

 

There is a spring, some type of washer or clip and the nut. The nut I can use a stainless nut but need the spring and washer/clip.

 

There's nothing magic about the spring, other than it's pretty stiff, and it can't be over a certain diameter and still get thru the window frame into the door. Do you have the other one? True Value here has a good selection of springs that could be cut down. The washer is so the end of the spring doesn't hang up on the frame. A nylock nut would be best. I have a decent picture if you need it.

 

why wouldn'tn the spring kit work from the 53,4,5 set up work then youn would get the stops also?????? mid fifty have them.David

 

I could try the hardware store, just trying to keep it correct. Does anyone know if the kit for the newer years would work? Who sells them to look at? Please bare with me this is for a buddy and I haven't seen the peice yet. Just beibg told what he needs.

 

mid fifty sell them and they don't cost that much David

 

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.

 

Thanks for the help guys.

 

Here's the complete assembly. The thick spacer has a square hole in it, it turns with the window. The pointed pece is the travel stop, also has a square hole. There is a thin brass washer between the spring and the frame, that needs greasing.

 

Well thats what I need to find. and the search goes on.
