In all the trucks I have seen and 4 I have owned the windshield regulator held it closed at the center. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 | jd, These latches were on Canadian built trucks only. Your best bet is to search local scrap yards, or perhaps some of our Canuck friends could find some for you.
Good Luck.

There is a wrecker out in Prince Edward county that I went to 2 years ago, name is Roblin's. He has a lot of old trucks. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | Was this the yard? It's a shame, the vehicles are all gone!

I went through Minakers before the crusher came! I spent a whole afternoon taking photos. That is where I got ny 410 pumpkin.
JDhoward,
It is good to see your post. How is the panel treating you these days? The last time I saw it you had only got it the year before.
