Anyone have a Trico catalog? Looking for data.

I don't have a Trico reprint catalog available so I thought I'd ask if someone who does can look something up for me.

Specifically, I have a 39 LaSalle 50-19 wiper transmission I need to repair, and according to the instruction sheet from another linkage repair kit (which doesn't work for me) there are several kits available that are listed. One of which likely will work for me. According to that sheet:

"Repair Kits are available  for service of Chain Drive Linkages properly used as equipment on 1937-'38-'39-'40 and '41 Models. Repair Kit number for each Linkage is listed in the Linkage Specifications Charts DM-601-39, DM-601-39A and DM-601-39B."

They also list the following kits as being available, and while I'm sure one of those is the one I need, I just don't know which one:

Sp. 1085-A
Sp. 1086-A
Sp. 1087-A
Sp. 1089-A
Sp. 1090-A

Failing any of that, does anyone have the data from a Trico catalog which will tell me what the interchange is on those transmission parts so I can look at other models i.e. Buicks, Pontiacs and so forth?

Thanks for any and all assistance.

Your car should have wiper transmissions that are used on 1939/40 "B" bodied cars. Everything but Chevrolet from Pontiac to the Cadillac Series 61 from 1939. There is a pair on eBay right now. I know you're looking for repair parts, but these do look usable. Good luck.

Talked to him earlier today. We may have it figured out but I'm still open to other suggestions.

Thanks Barry, but I definitely only need parts. I just spent $200 on having my original towers replated.

John,
My book shows 1087 on early production & 1089A on later production. Those #'s also fit other GM cars.

Perfect!  Thank you Bob, 1089-a is exactly what I was looking to confirm.  BTW, does it also list what other vehicles that 1089-a fits on?
