i found a company that has both vent frames in their catalog, I have never bought from this company before, so unsure of quality. Here is the web address..(http://www.concoursparts.com/pic/pdfcatalogs-file8.pdf). The Vent frames are a ways down the catalog on page 80.
I knew the owner 40 years ago when he was a Ford partsman. He once owned Larry's Thunderbird Parts in Fullerton CA. He sold it, moved to Carson City, then opened Concours Parts. Everything he manufactures is top quality.
I have been looking for the vent frames for a while, when i found that catalog i was excited. Prices for them is a bit steep, but when something is so hard to find it might be worth it. I might order them if i cant find some decent frames at the local wrecking yards in the next few months.
There are 22 right sides available NOS, see post #6. Call around, you will prolly find that NOS will be cheaper (excepting High Buck! Bob Allen Ford) than a repop.
Very true ND. My left side is the one that is really buggered up. i already have the new glass, i don't want to fight with trying to get my old windows out of the frames. Just glad to see that these parts are available.
Do any companies make 1 piece door window kits for the 61-66 doors? I know there are kits for a lot of different vehicles. If the window seals are bad, bad vent window frames, the cost might be a wash getting a 1 piece door glass kit and getting rid of the vent windows. I like the vent windows so I am not for this, but if my frames were rusted out and had to drop $320 go get 2 peices of metal for the glass to go into, I might change my tune.

Yes there are a few companies that make the wind wing delete kits, I was just looking at one the other day. I will try to find the Link and post it for you later today! It is something I have considered, but I like the wind wing so much. It is nice to be able to open the little window, and get small amount of air, or open it with the window down, and prevent the wind buffet. I do like the look of the deleted window, it makes the truck look a lot cleaner! back with ya later!
Wish I knew how they compared to the early Bronco frames. Lot of parts were shared between vehicles. But I guess NumberDummy would have picked that up if they would work. Got a nice pair of stainless I'm getting ready to sell.
Did you find the website or the people with the ventless windows

did you find the makers of the ventless windows for the 61-66 ford truck?
You know it is funny, I read a thread in here about swapping out to a one piece window, and it had links to a few manufacturers. and now I can;t find that thread.... I should have saved it at the time! I will find it though!
I have completely disassembled my vent windows and the channels are common between right hand and left hand. The difference is the lower pivot pin. The pins are rivited on so if you can get a left frame and a right pin or visa versa the opposite side could be made. Does anyone have a source for the lower pivot pin? My right side is broke off but the channels are good. Also, the seal rubber that holds the window into the channels, does anyone make this?
