1945 E Model Parts

Hi all;

Anybody know where I can get a functional windshield regulator,a striker plate for my left door,a heater fan motor and a glove box door?

New or decent used would be great. I also need repair kits for the door glass regulators,but I think the kits for late 30's-mid 40's Chevy trucks will work with a little "tuning".

Thanks!

I keep forgetting that Packer,Andy and I are about the only "E" owners out there-if they ain't already got it,it probably ain't out there...

Speed,I think the door parts you need are also the same for an A model.The cabs are the same shape and I think the doors are identical.Try Chalmers in Pa. he probaly has what you need.

Thanks Greg,I'll check that out. I'm also considering going the custom route and using one of the aftermarket power window kits the hot rodders are using,when I can afford it. I might also go with an aftermarket wiper set up. They've designed some of this stuff to be easy install and pretty near idiot-proof,which is about what I need.

I found a glass shop here that will do all my glass for $450.00,if I can get the rubber seals for the front/rear glass. (They can get 'em,but their supplier's kinda expensive.) Anyway,for now I have things to a use-able state,I need to work more on some drive train issues. I'll post some questions in the proper forums to address these. I've come to realize that when I got my truck I had intention to get it basically operable and just drive it,but as I go on,just to make it a functional truck is going to require pretty much a full restoration,minus the engine rebuild and most of the body work. so I might as well just figure on keeping it off the roads and get things done right as I can get the money to do it. (Besides,I have an old GMC dump truck I can put to work relatively easily now)

As with all the other kinds of trucks and cars I've messed with over the years,I'll keep looking for parts sources,information and Mack Truck enthusiasts to share stories and information with.

Got the poop on another 'E'!

I'm thinking that 3 'E's' will be a bit much!

Look for two of them to be for sale come spring.

The two togather will make one great truck, with parts left over.

Hi Packer;

Don't forget to email some pics of the new toy,if you get it!! I doubt I'll be able to make an offer on the parts truck(s),but I know a guy here locally who's going to be looking for an oldie to set on a newer frame and running gear. He has the basic truck now and wanted to use MY cab and doghouse,but, OH,NO WAY!!! I told him I'd scout up something equally cool for him.

Hi Speed,

I'am new in town, and see you are looking for heater motor and glove box door. I'am parting out a !947 EF it has a heater that works and also the glove door if you are still looking.

Hi Tinman and ol' dog;

I'm having to re-shuffle my priorities,yet again,so I don't know what I'll be able to afford for the next couple of months,but if you can give me some prices to work with I'll try to pick up what I can,as I can. I looked closer at the striker plate,and I think the reason it's not working is partly because of a fairly serious whang in the door and door frame right about even with the handle, (Looks like somebody rolled into it lightly with a loader bucket)but even if I can get that straightened out,I'll probably still need the striker. That also probably explains why the doorglass,or what's left of it, won't slide up and down in the window channel very well. Anyway,let me know what you need to get for the parts I'm needing,as well as anything else you think might be useful,and I'll try to get this stuff moving.(A little at a time)

Thanks for responding!
