I found a company at https://thisolecoupe.com/windshield-regulator-unit/ that manufactures new aluminum cast units (see pic) which is nice but they want $425.00 each. Does anyone have any other suggestions before I invest in this? Attachments Chevy-1941-1946-Front.jpg (28.95 KB, 80 downloads) Chevy-1941-1946-Front

If you are not in a hurry do a search on ebay with an email alert when one gets listed. Patience can pay off. 1947.2 GMC 1/2T SWB panel 1947.2 GMC 1/2T long bed 1948 GMC 1/2T short bed

I just wired the windshield securely shut and mounted the crank handle back on so all would look normal. I just posted over in the Truck Parts Wanted section. I will also try the Ebay notification trick.
