Nope I have not found what they are for. 55NAPCO has an interesting idea, but I'm not convinced. In my mine it would be more likely in a modern truck with today's automated manufacturing techniques. Maybe he is correct and maybe there is someone out there who knows for sure.

Britcon: Maybe the '40 is different, my cowl vent lever has a very strong detent that holds it in several positions including shut. It could be they were used in earlier years for springs and not eliminated when no longer needed

Born to fish, the truck is only a hobby.
