Door window size on 1960 F100?

I ordered new set of door windows for my truck from local glass shop, and sent them old windows for templates.
Vent windows fit nicely, but I think big windows are about 3/8 too wide. Does anyone have correct dimensions for these?

I also replaced all the window runners, seals etc. with repro parts... is it possible there are differences in those to the originals?



thanks,

I used all LMC stuff and had pretty good luck. However anything is possible so I guess I would compare old to new carefully. I did receive the wrong rear/upper channel which you bend and install. Everything was ok except the buttons which snap it in place were in the wrong locations. They sent me the correct ones with no problem. Is it possible the division bar is not located correctly? I guess if the wing window closes & locks that shouldn't be an issue. Sorry but I don't have dimensions on the glass. What are yours doing? Not going up all the way?

I checked all the new parts and I´m quite sure they fit.

Side window closes if I adjust the top of division bar toward the vent window, and leave the lower bolt off completely... then the division bar is so close to vent window that it doesn´t close.
If I bolt the lower part of division bar, vent window closes, but bigger window is so tight its almost impossible to crank it up.

Maybe I shouldn´t have lost othe old windows so fast...

I hear ya on throwin stuff away too quickly. You would think if the glass shop had the original it would have been difficult to make the new ones larger but that sure sounds like the case. Have you asked them if the glass can be trimmed down?
