tilt windscreens
Lionel,
I am not sure of the tilt windscreens on other trucks or the hinge arrangement/manufacture but I do know on the early Fords used by Australia that the 39 Ford truck/pick up windscreen was continued in use on the 40-42 Ford trucks.
The 39 Ford had a dual swing out hinge with a winder on the dash. Ford went to two piece fixed windscreens in 1940 but to continue using tilt windscreen the Australian Army continued using the 39 windscreen but had to make new hinges to adapt to the changed windscreen frame on the cab. And they are a bastard to get lined up.
Those familiar with Chevs may be able to enlighten as to whether any similar change took place with those civvy truck cabs.
