Side glass

I need to replace the driver's door glass on my 53. I do believe it is stock tent. Does anyone have a template they can share that I can take to a local glass place to have one made?

Yeah, It's just flat glass and an auto glas place should be able to cut one for you and polish the edges with no problem.

I ordered new windows through lmc. I took the window out as a template but 2 local glass shops said it would take 3 weeks to cut so I just ordered new ones. Need to get new rollers and anti rattlers. Felt was to thick and causes the windows to get stuck.

I had the same problem with the glass getting stuck after I replaced the missing felts. I ended up removing the new felts and wedging the window gap in the door to open it up. I think my window openings closed up because the felts had been missing for many years and repeatedly slamming the doors by grabbing the door with the window rolled down.

I gave the glass company an old window to use as a template. Their price estimate was double the price that Sacramento vintage Ford wanted. So, I said no thanks and bought the new stuff from Sac Vintage. Good luck, Jag

I would order from one of the truck parts place but they would not have the tint I need. I talked to a local glass place and they would be able to match it.
