Tyre Rims Chevrolet MCP

[Lionelgee]

G'day David,

Thank you for the informative reply about the quirks of MCP Chevrolet Trucks.

I found a photograph that might answer my own question about how far the rubber seal extended from the frame of the tilt up windscreens. Mine is nearly non-existent. This Australian War Memorial photograph shows what looks like a closed tilt up windscreen. It looks like there are two hinges roughly in the same place as the other photographs I have found so far.

Photograph Details below

P.S. I found a photograph of a US truck of a type that I am unsure what it is - however it looks to have a modified version of the tilt windscreen except it does not have a internal centre frame with a handle. The top hinges seem to be spaced further apart from the centred of the windscreen as well.


Kind Regards
Lionel
