Side vent door - diagram?

Hey guys, I wanted to retain my driver's side vent on my AD - see relevant picture:

I have the door, but the hinge hardware was lost by my painter. I'd rather not have to go back and fill this panel and repaint. Are y'all aware of any parts diagrams for this vent? I don't even know what I need to make it whole again. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: pic is not of my truck; just for illustration.

Re: Side vent door - diagram?

Do you still have the piece on the inside aka hande inside?

My internet is a mess right now and I can't get to my photobucket where I have a couple of photos stashed. I can go out and get better photos of the one on my cab though and take it off to get photos as I need to remove it anyhow.

I do have the handle as well, but that's it. I just dealt with pulling all of my pictures off of photobucket myself, so I feel your pain.

Here the shots of mine. I'll run and pull the door off and get a couple more photos.

Re: Side vent door - diagram?

i went out and the screws were too stuck to turn with a small screwdriver.
The door should have the bracket spot welded on the back of it.

Bracket being red arrow. The screws (orange arrow hold it to the piece that is permanent in the cab. The handle fastens to the top of the bracket with two screws (green arrow).

Love using my side vent. Hope you can get yours back and running.

That's great! Thanks a lot.

The only thing I'm not connecting here is what those orange-arrow screws are attaching. It looks like there are two springs (and maybe another retaining bracket for the springs?) mounted using those screws. IT also looks like the non-threaded holes in the door bracket are used to hook the springs. I think that's what I'm missing.
My door has the bracket still spot-welded on, but there's nothing that lines up with those two screw-holes (orange arrows from your picture). Here's a shot:

I did find the handle, though!

I've got to spray mine with some PB Blaster to get it off.

Looks like this guy is trying to get rich off the AD truck guys all at one shot but the photos show you what you are missing. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Chevrolet-tr...QAAOSwuhhc5cRz

If that doesn't come up here is the photo I snagged off it.

Thanks for that — I understand now. I doubt anyone makes that in the aftermarket, so I'll probably post a WTB in the marketplace. Surely someone has one laying around for less that $80...
