Wonderful...
I was searching in the barn this afternoon for the side curtains but could not find them...... bingo in a special plastic container in a basement room.
Will have pictures tomorrow.
Strangely one plastic window is clear and useable... the other has frosted over and the frosting is coming off as plastic flakes....completely opaque and both were stored wrapped in newspaper from Holland in the same air tight container. Pictures will show the details.
I may have to carefully remove the deteriorated plastic and resew a new section of modern vinyl using a hand awl and using the same needle holes
Now for David...... the rods are just straight flat pieces inserted in the pocket/sleeve provided...... but..... in your pictures you seem to have a 3/8 rod exposed on the top section that would be close to the roof...... am I mistaken....?
Can you measure the off set of the front leg.... seems to go from flat stock about 3/4 inch wide ( maybe 7/8 and what thickness ) welded to a round bar then welded or forged into a square section...... am I correct..... ?
On the rear rod what are the dimension/length of the rod when it leaves the flat stock to the square section.....
A very primitive design..... that could not have been very effective in pouring rain or blowing Canadian Winter....... it is no wonder that all pictures of trucks on manoeuvres or in action rarely shows the side curtain windows in place......
Pictures tomorrow.
Thanks for the priceless pictures David.
Bob
