Cowl Vent Removal
What is the secret to remove the cowl vent from the cab (51 F1)? I have removed the cover and the gasket from the assembly but I am unable to get the assembly out of the cab. All screws have been removed. Thanks

You have to remove the pivot bolt, #34903-S &# 350136-S, and then the assembly will go limp and you pull it out from the top:
Just remember how you took it out. Crawl under the dash and take a few digital pictures of it before disassembling it.

I spent hours tryin to figure this out on my 52.......mine would not disassemble to remove. I finally ended up prying up one end thru the hole, then rotating 90 degrees and remove. It worked for me. T/M

After you have removed the pivot bolt move the handle as far back as possible:
Remove the passenger side first:
As you twist the vent lift it out:
The vent is out:
NOTE: If you have the radio bracket in the dash you may have to do a little more twisting to get the vent out.

Thanks. I see what you have done. I had removed a small bolt that put a friction hold on the handle. I did not remove that long pivot bolt. I am not at the truck now but if I remember right that bolt (shaft) did not have threaded ends. Have to look again.

That is what I removed. Your pictures do not show the rod that goes across the assembly. T took some pictures of it. I have to get them on this computer. When I do I will post one. Or should I sent it directly to you? If you want send me your email address. I am billt203@yahoo.com, Houston.

Ross,
Yeah, that my panel truck in the pictures. I am planning to repaint some time so I'm not too worried about the paint. I was careful not to scratch it as I was doing the vent install and removal though.
