Do these just take rubber hose and go down the side kick panel? Is there a drain for the cowel vent as well? This is a 40 1/2 ton.

windshield that goes down the side of the kick panel. Also the cowel vent has a drain hose/tube. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,048 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,048 | On my ’41 there was a rigid tube behind the kick panel exiting the cab through a floor opening just in front of the door post. That tube was connected to a short tube extending down from the hole in the windshield framing with a short hose.
The cowl vent drain is connected by hose to an opening in the top center of the firewall

I see a larger tube sticking down under the vent. Does a rubber hose fit over the outside of this tube for draining. It just seems too large to me.

Took a look at your stovebolt page. Your truck looks good, nice work. Thanks, Bob | | |
