Anyone know where to get tilt out windshield hardware?!

[Tripper]

The tilt out windshield on my '41 Chev panel is shot & I wanna make it work again. I saw someone redoing theirs... I think maybe Gastrick & wanted to do the same! Anyone know where I can get that hardware?!

And here's a tech article. How to rebuild your crank mechanism...

I know of a guy who parts out lots of those. He sells everything on ebay, goes by

I found the hinges on eBay for a good price but I am not having any luck finding the crank out assembly. Most of the sites that sell them rebuilt have a huge core charge on them also.

How about the crank out mechanism on a house window, could something like that be modified and used? Have seen them in the big box stores as a replacement part. Also have seen some that were reasonably small. The stores in the States seem to have a lot bigger choice of hardware stuff than what I ever see in the great white north. Just throwing it out there.

I just emailed a friend who deals in old Chevy trucks. He's not cheap either, however.

My friend has a few but the good working ones go for (ouch) 200 bucks.

For that price I hope they are perfect working order with all pieces attached.

Supply and demand.

Thanks guys... I was sorta lookin' for ones like the Gastrick used on his coupeee. Really just wanted the hinges at the top & sliders on the sides. My Chev panel had the crank style but it's messed up & I'm not really interested in repairin' it. Sorta wanted the hinges & sliders on the sides like Gastrick's bad azzz deuce. The Gastrick pointed me there & I'll be doin' that to me Dodge Coupeee!!!

May I ask to be pointed in the direction of said slider assemblies please.
