Asked this question over at brand X and really got no satisfactory answers. My '29 CCPU cab was built from various pieces. It was originally a homemade C cab and I bought doors and extended cab corners, etc. The mirrors on both sides are bolted to the windshield posts just below the visor mounts as opposed to hinge mounts. Can someone tell me if I have an A or AA cowel?

A and AA cab are the same. The hinge mount was used on the 1930-31 82-B cab not the 1928-E30 82-A cab.

Mirror above the hinge is an earlier cowl. Don't have JS in front of me right now so can not provide a time frame of change. Rod"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good." Thomas SowellComment

Hi, By looking at your hinges and your door it appears that you have a Pickup/Truck Cowl. They used the same cab on "A" Pickups & "AA's". The only mirror on A's & AA's was on the outside on the drivers side.Originally posted by Denis4x4 View PostComment

This question concerns the 76-A UPPER Windshield Frame Assembly, A-37111.
I have been told that there are 3 UPPER assemblies for the Open Cab windshield frames used from 1928 thru June/July 1930.
Can anyone expand on this and if so can you post photos of each?
Thanks.

There are several of us 29 CCPU owners (Dan Partain, Dudley Moordigian, a fellow in our local Twin Cities model A club and me) that are trying to figure out what the correct windshield type should be for April 29 and mid 29 pickup windshield frames. Our CCPU's have been messed with over the years, so we are not sure if the windshield frames on our pickups are correct. All of us know that 1928 CCPU...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Were the four (4) bolts (screws) that attach the Windshield Stanchins to the body (two (2) each side) on a 1928 Open Cab Pickup, "body" color or were they Nickel plated?
Thanks.

In preparation to repaint the windshield before installing.
I would like to separate the windshield from the header bracket. (Hinge)
it looks like they simply slide apart but was wondering if there are any precautions that I should be aware of.
I was unable to find any mention in Les Andrews books, and
did a search here with no results but I’m not real savvy in the search...03-15-2020, 12:45 PM -
I have been sitting here wondering just how many always run with the windshield open and how wide and for what reason?
I will start by saying up until a few days ago, I ran mine closed and put up with the reflection of the rear lights and stuff. But since it has been 95° plus the last few days I cracked it open about 1½in., we'll see how that works.07-10-2017, 03:35 PM -

Took the roadster out Saturday and tipped the windshield open to get some air. Kept vibrating back closed. I didn't strong arm the thumb screws till I asked you guys??10-16-2017, 09:48 PM -
Try as I might, I can not get the Windshield to close. It hits against the filler strip.
I am beginning to think that I have the wrong windshield for my 31 SW 4D TS.
I have a windshield which is original. I measured the heights in the center of the window and the one installed is almost 1/4" bigger. This different in heights is what is leading me to think that this windshield...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I put my mirrors on the top screw hole of stanchions on my '29 RPU and now the windshield wants to hit towards the bottom of stanchion on drivers side. I have loosened here and there tightened with not being able to center windshield. It worked fine with just the bottom screws in. To attach stanchions on a Brookville body you use a one piece backing plate with two threaded holes that sits behind where...08-19-2017, 11:11 PM
