The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop AD Driver Cowl Vent

Hey guys,
I'm working through a frame off restoration on a '49 Chevy 3/4ton pickup.
When I took off the driver's side cowl vent, I just had to unbolt the plate on the interior that has the notch to lock the vent open or closed. The vent itself wasn't bolted to anything. However, the cab had a perfect rectangle missing (broken off?) from the right side of the vent opening (facing outside of cab) where I would imagine the vent would have bolted to. Now, I searched as best I couldn't and found nothing but several unanswered questions as to how this side vent attaches.
So, does anyone have any pictures, or a description of how this vent is supposed to attach? I'm sorry I can't upload any pictures of what I'm seeing; the truck is in Tampa, Fl, and I'm going to college at Mercer, in Macon, Ga. I really, really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance guys!

Denny Grahams web site has great AD pics

Dennys Pic's

His truck is a 50, vent might be the same as 49.

Good luck

The cowl vent handle attaches to the door and the door attaches with two screws to a bracket spotwelded to the inside of the cowl, see picture.

The next picture is how a 49 looks inside, 50 does not have the plate or the marroon knob on the arm but is pressed steel.

Next picture is of the entire 47-49 cowl vent pieces.

Thank you! This is perfect. Ha, Denny's Webshots albums were the first place I looked, but if this picture is on there I must have missed it.
Okay, now the metal tab I have indicated with green arrows in this picture , is it welded to the cab, just inside of the vent hole, and it has holes for those two bolts on the hinge to bolt to (boxed in yellow)?

Whoops, thanks Brad! You answered my next question before I was even through typing it.
Okay, well it looks like my cab is minus this bracket, must have broken off at some point. It looks like it'd be pretty hard to weld back on at that angle, maybe I can JB Weld something up...
Thanks again guys!
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem, again I'd sure appreciate it.
