windshield bracket

[36humpback]

Does anyone know about a "hinge" that is used to keep the bottom of the swingout windshield open on a 36 humpback?  My brother says he remembers them on both sides of the windshield to keep it open.  They apparently like jewlery box hinges  on the sides of the box to keep the top open.  I find no evidence of them in/on my panel and do not remember them being there.  Thanks for any info or help.

The 1936 DB truck will have a small, center of the upper dash mounted crank for the windshield. It attaches to a steel band that mounts to the windshield and holds it open.

This is what holds the windshield open.

Thanks for the info guys.  I know about this item, but I have never seen any part of it under the dash. ( my family has owned this panel since about 1950).  The only thing under the dash is the lever for opening the vent on the cowl.  The windshield does have the two mounting holes for this tho.  When I got it the windshield was kept in place with two screws and large washers spaced along the bottom of the windshield and screwed into the cowl.  Thanks again.
