One of the things I noted when I first saw this 1941 1/2 ton, was the missing close out panels for the wiper motors. I was told the parts were available from the guy we bought the truck from and never went back to him to get them. Now he is dead and no one related to him knows squat. I ordered the 4 panels I need and need to know If I need any special fasteners for these panels?

My '40 has only ( 2 ) of these, with the right hand side being plain, and the left side having holes for the switch. Mine has painted flat headed screws, although I am not sure these are stock.

I have 2 wipers on the 41. from what I can gather it takes 2 panels for each hole.

If you have the orig wipers, you will only need two panels. They are different so be sure to get a right one and a left one.

I used the same clutch head screws that hold on the door panels.

So live and learn, the parts book was correct you do use the lt. and rt. close out panels with the other panels. The problem is that there was no picture and the other panels is the complete cover for the wiper assembly. Now I have 2 of them and I don,t need even 1. Crud $160.00 and shipping down the tubes.
