Really need to find!
by wishbone
Posted: 01/23/2003 21:43 EST

I am still trying to find a windshield crank assembly for my dads 35 ford pickup. I really want to find him one! I missed out on the one on ebay awhile back because it took them so long to set up my account. If anyone knows where I can get a repro or the original thing please let me know. I have looked in his books and I cannot find one of these assemblies. Thanks for any help!!!

Yeah, Dad is wanting one. After looking at the online catalog for Dick Spadaro, it said for 35-36 ford also fits 35-36 ford pickup. Maybe the ones for cars will work on pickups. I don't know but if anyone locates one either for a car or a pickup give me a yell!

Thanks for the help gang. I found out today that this part has been discontinued, no repro places are carring it anymore. If anyone comes across an original let me know! Thanks again!

Good Luck finding anything for the 35-37 PU on the bay that the price doesnt skyrocket. I also check it daily.

I was going to get teh Spardo repo for my 35 eventually, but I guess Ill have to soak mine in molassas to try to get it unstuck. Sorry, I dont have another one.

I got one back that he had the part. I told him I needed to see a pic and what I did for a job and haven't recieved the pic yet. Waiting to see the pic before I send him a penny. I guess I deal with the bad people at work so much that I am not very trusting in something I have never seen! I looked at the ebay listings but none of them have a regulator with the windshield. Thanks for all the help, I guess for now I am still looking!

He had the frame and windshield just no regulator. The guy emailed me the pics and is holding the part for me so I guess I found one! I want to thank all of you for your help and suggestions! Bill, how is your windshield fixed in the panel? And have you seen that 36 panel for sale on ebay? It needs alot of work but alot has already been done. If I didn't have the 50 I would bid on that!

Mine is just a flat glass and a seal..I just fabricated a lip and welded it in place. The 36 panel would cost a lot to get from Ca.

Guess what Frank. I was going to say the same thing. Pretty sure there's a passenger one in my attic. While we're looking for parts, and since we're here because of "Wishbone" anyone got a front wishbone for a Ford passenger car that will fit a Bell axle? I think they're 2 1/4".

I spoke with a reproduction company in NC and they advised me that a 35 car windshield regulator will NOT work in a 35 ford pickup. Back to the drawing board. Anybody got one for a 1935 ford pickup? Thanks!
