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

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.

Eric,
I am glad you started this thread as I was looking at my windshield frames and they have the groove in the hinge and one of my windshield frames is missing both sliders on it but I wasn't worried about it as I have 2 spare window frames I was going to use but they are out of a Chevy HUP.they are the short sliders! Now I will have to hunt down 2 Ford long sliders for my truck as well.I will be visiting some parts trucks next spring and If I come across extra sliders,I will pick off one for you if you are still looking for one.I will send you the parts I have for you tomorrow.
Derk.
