Top Door Frame Snaps
Quote:
Aah! The detail in your latest picture does clearly show the snaps on the upper door frame! However, because it is an inside-the-cab picture, one cannot tell from it whether there is a separate piece of canvas snapped in place or that this particular side curtain had a top flap that snapped in place there. I still rather doubt this latter possibility because of the awkwardness of having to unsnap the top each time the door was opened. Regards, Jim

Mike,
A canvas piece might have been a after-war add on by the civilian owner. However, it does look like it would serve much the same as the piece that goes on the windshield frame, i.e. keep water from "wicking" around the top of the door frame and into the cab. Regards, Jim

It looks to me like the side canvas just folds over at the top and snaps in place. It would make it awkward when opening the door, but I can see where you'd want to eliminate that draft if it was -30C or so. I was going to put -40C but how would you get one of those engines started at that temp?

David,
It does make sense to me, even though it might be awkward, that one would want to snap up the top of the curtain to eliminate any unnecessary drafts. Having said that, it might have been wishful thinking...... Regards, Jim

Top fasteners are for clip on piece were side screen rests against , see my picture of top of cab , it is an original one . It is flat canvas with a round rubber stitched into it .
Old Fords and other Old timers have that same square socket in the doors for side screens , and they also have round rods for the sreens , Square sockets make sense so the rods don`t jam that easy. if somebody needs more pictures of the top canvas piece let me know , also a picture of how the rods are in the side screen.
