HI JIm

The common practice in the civvy auto industry was to have a steel rod that fitted in pockets of the side curtains........ in turn the end of those rods were inserted in the two white metal tubes in the cab 11/12 doors..... 3 other fasteners held the bottom end of the curtain in place on the door.

Note that replacement tubes... almost identical to our CMPs and the top hat fasteners that fits in the doors are avaialble at Mac's Auto in Niagara NY as they were quite common on Ford vehicles of that period.

I have NOS side curtains from Dirk...... but unfortunetaly I have no idea of what the "rods" look like and may have to invent something......
