'70's factory cap
I finally found a factory glass cap (deluxe) for my '78 150. They seem to be are ridiculously rare (I understand that most of them lost their rear door or fell apart over the years) and are expensive to ship so I consider myself luck to have found one locally. However, it needed restoration (which I have completed).
I need the two compass emblems for the leading edges of the two sides - I would appreciate any leads from anyone who may have a parts unit laying around or any info on whether the part is being reproduced ( or where it could be done).
tks,
Dave

That's the one - thanks, lostinfords.
It's the deluxe unit, which came with a roof vent, sliding side glass with screens, and interior lighting with a pig tail at the front to connect to a switch in side the cab (the base model did not have these features).
I have noriced that these caps came all white or all black as well as with a paint stripe across the leasing edge and down the sides - that color was supposed to match the cab/truck color.
I would consider buying another cap if it was in good condition and was located anywhere near where I live so that I could pick it up at some point in time, but I need the two emblems from the sides of the cap now (in the shape of a compass).
Also, lostinfords or anyone else with a deluxe cap - can you tell me if the roof vent has a gasket of some kind against which the part which opens is supposed to seal?
tks,
Dave
