Title: Window screens for cab doors
Post by: JerryT on September 13, 2007, 06:56:27 AM
Hi all
I was clicking around on the net looking for a sun screen for my awning and I Googled into an Ohio company that has made van door and window screens for many years. Their name is Bug Barrier the phone#is 1-800-548-0214 or
<www.bugbarrierscreen.com> I spoke to Sharron, the owners daughter and she was very helpful. They sell top quality all aluminum full and half window screens plus other items. I ordered a pair of half screens for my 78 and they showed up in about 2-3 days and they fit like a glove. She was going to check to see if they would also fit the 71-77 Dodge van or see if they could make up some more that would. I took a few pics to share.

Hi Jerry;
Those look much nicer than the ones I made from fiberglass screen and magnets.

Kinda' pricey!

Hey Dave
Ya, they wern't cheap, I think I get excited when I find something for an old Dodge that's still available. I do like to match the quality of the improvement with the quality of the coach and these screens are better than I thought they would be. In todays world a mfg. could take out a lot of cost (thinner,lighter,cheaper,plastic) so I was glad to get them. I like to do cost averaging, i.e. what it sells for, minus what I would like to pay, vs what it's really worth, minus my time and aggravation, divided by, can I really build one better, +/- do I want to spend the extra bucks right now. The +'s seem to win a lot more the older I get :D

I hear ya'!

About the only thing I can do 'better' than 20 years ago is a tranny fluid change- the pan now sits nicely on my belly...
