Hi Eric,

On the Chevs the original windshield throwout arms were the short ones. The longer arms were introduced around May 1942 to allow the windshield to open to a full 90 degrees, from 30 degrees.

A Service Bulletin issued in October 1942 shows a windshield conversion kit was issued to retrofit early vehicles.

Eric,
I am glad you started this thread as I was looking at my windshield frames and they have the groove in the hinge and one of my windshield frames is missing both sliders on it but I wasn't worried about it as I have 2 spare window frames I was going to use but they are out of a Chevy HUP.they are the short sliders! Now I will have to hunt down 2 Ford long sliders for my truck as well.I will be visiting some parts trucks next spring and If I come across extra sliders,I will pick off one for you if you are still looking for one.I will send you the parts I have for you tomorrow.
Derk.
