Default Maybe.....

I can't tell if it is a pinup picture from your girl friend or a piece of sheet metal....

For God's sake take the engine cover out for a good picture.....

Do the hole in the top line up with the hole in the engine cover...?

Default Knob and bracket,

Eric,
I have a spare knob and the bracket it screws to on the outer window frame but I don't have a spare slider.Let me know where to send it and it's yours.I just removed it from a spare window frame and of course broke the long stud that ties everything together but it can be replaced.I wish I had a set of torches to heat things up properly to remove them.I also needed one of these brackets for my cmp and broke mine while removing it!
Derk.

Hi Eric,
The holes in the centre of the windscreen frame are for the wiper shaft.

HI ,
I know that but i think they are on the early model only on my ford they are not there and i have the short bracket so what is my theory is the early model come with the long brackets so the holes on the hinge and the windscreen frame could go higher

Default Chev windshield arms

Hi Eric,

On the Chevs the original windshield throwout arms were the short ones. The longer arms were introduced around May 1942 to allow the windshield to open to a full 90 degrees, from 30 degrees.

A Service Bulletin issued in October 1942 shows a windshield conversion kit was issued to retrofit early vehicles.

be nice if we could accually see the tag rather then a dark smudge in the background of a rather dark photo. Be better if you tidied the photos up so we can see them before you post them.

Default Mohawk

Hi,

Mohawk was an engine rebuilding plant located in Montreal. I remember the company from the seventies and eighties but they must have gone out of business years ago. This would mean that the engine in yor truck has been replaced by a rebuilt engine. The numbers on the tag are the engine number that Mohawk gave your engine and the sizes of the crankshaft journals and cylinders after the rebuild.
