Question vent window parts

I have a 52 F-1 Pck up and in need of 2 lower pivot assemblies: NOS, used, or reproduction for both the left and right vent windows. To date I have been unable to locate them through the parts catalogs ie: Dennis Carpenter, MAC, LMC etc.
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to where I might look.
Yes I have a eye on ebay as well.

Thanks to all

You can try contacting the girls at Midfifty, they started a new division covering 48-52, I thing they call Classic Haulers. They maybe able to help.

I'm not sure if it was you or another member who posted a note on my user page about this. But I responded there and I'll post the e-bay store that USED to carry them. I'm not sure if he still does, but he may be able to give you a point to someone who does if he doesn't carry them.

Here's the link to the e-bay store - I'll let you look:

thanks for the reply

I Have spoken with Altra and they no longer have window pivot assy's for the F-1's. My thoughts are, did Ford use the same assembly on their cars and or in latter years?

Perhaps somewhere but most of the vent window parts were different!

vent windows

I had to buy some old ones and get a rivet kit from classic haulers and take the pivots off and put them on my frames. good luck with this it can be a JOB. But take your time and it will turn out great. I had mine recromed and new glass and rubber all from classic haulers. ALL YOU NEED IS SOME DONOR WINDOWS.

A (one) 48-52 "Donor Window" will cost you about $50 right now - if you can find one.

I wonder if Ilya has some? I'll send him a PM (since you can't) and see if he will come on the thread!

Yep, unfortunately, at the moment, people are selling truck parts cheap - to put food on the table.

I recently saw a windshield stainless strip sell on e-bay for under $150! Four years ago I paid $275 (it was near new - but wow have those come down lately).

I sent a PM to Ilya!

Thanks for the PM, Julie!

This is what I have. They're solid and complete, except for the glass. They're actually from a 48-50, but the only difference are the chrome glass handles.





Let me know if you want any additional/close up pictures.

You can email me at modelking2000@hotmail.com if you're interested.

Just call me your parts "dealer". I support your old truck addiction and habit.

Thanks for the compliment. You're welcome on the fender brace.
