specific year should be stated .... don't know about "best", but Jim Carter offers them reconditioned providing you have a good core - might be others like Filling Station or Chevs of the 40's

It's a 46 I've contacted all of catalog guys and they say they must have mine because they don't have any to trade out anymore
Just looking for the source where they are sending them
I've almost finished my truck and this is one of the last pieces of the puzzle

vendors will use some small machine shop local to them, doubt you'll find any way around using a vendor

Broke Tim,
Depending what is going on with your windshield crank out, you might be able to do it yourself. I had to submerge mine in a penetrating oil for a good month for it to even turn. Through out the month, I would turn it just enough both ways so that it will extend and retract. Now it is good to go.
If you need to have it rebuilt; Tech Tips have a pretty good write up. Rebuild the windshield crank for your 1939 to 1946 truck

If you go with a vender, don't forget American Classic Truck Parts that is to the left of the page and Bowtie Bits.
