| | | | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 33 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 33 | I am wondering if anyone is reproducing the lower drivers side cowl panel for the 47 trucks with the vent door in it, I've been looking with no success for one, mine is pretty well shot, is it something I'll have to fabricate or is there a commercially available part...

If it's old and rusted out.... Well it's probably mine.

I cut mine just below this point due to the lack of a replacement but it may require some additional grafting in your case. I cut up about a cab a month for parts so let me know if you want to go that way next time I get one I will save it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
If you are able to salvage the outer panel with the vent door opening, the inner panel is available from Jim Carter.

If you could set one back next time you find one it'd be a huge help, Mine is a little too far gone to repair I believe, it is not only rusted but crumpled as well, so the odds of it ever fitting a new panel or working properly are slim.

I will save one for you and contact you when I get one. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 33 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 33 | Sounds good, thanks.
