QUESTIONS:



For a 1954 Hollywood is the vent window gear box (drvr side) the same as the one's in a 2-dr or 4-dr sedan car?



Are the 51-54's all the same and interchangeable?



I realize that the drvr side and pas side are different.



Any one have an excellent one for sale? If so, pls send me a private message.

    For What It's Worth; I'm not sure if this will help you at all, but I remember hearing Walt M. give the tip that if worse comes to worse, you can always disassemble the left and right units and switch gears between them, because only a small segment of the gear actually wears out.

    The vent GEAR is the same but the stem length is different on the Hollywood vs. sedan. The only other model that has the exact stem length is the convert. All sedans and coupes had the same size vent window cranks . Gene Eshelman in Idaho has the replacement gears for the window cranks. Much better than the origional pot metal gears. Good luck on your project.
