I believe that was discussed here some years back. You might check the archives. Also check the "parts for sale" forum here.

" and those windlace retainers were used from 1947 through mid-1949. The late 49 through 55-1st channels are available (they were/are spot-welded to the cab). As BIG CHEVY 3600 suggested, your best bet is to place a Want Ad in the Swap Meet. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 35 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 35 | classic parts has what your looking for. good luck putting it in better get some lube. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 154 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 154 | I think Brad is looking for the ones that screw on(47 to 50) instead of weld on.
