I have one that I haven't installed yet. But it is currently at a storage location about 5 miles away. I'll be going by the place on Saturday and can trace it, if nobody else helps out by then.

All glass is pretty much the same except for the rear glass between 48-50 and 51-52 model years. The windshield is the same.
I have a pattern that I traced onto a foam board and can trace from that if anyone else is in need.

If there is a local glass shop, you should think about letting them trace your opening. I learned on FTE that the glass is larger than the opening and the rubber gasket holds it in place out in front of the lip on your windshield frame. That prevents the glass from being able to enter the cab as a single piece of glass in an accident. If impacted, the tempered glass should break up into small pieces which are laminated to the film between the layers of glass.
Tinman provided that information.
That bit of information is why the windshield has to be installed from the outside and you pull the seal inward. I have a thread on that somewhere.
I did buy my windshield and rear window from Larry at Blue Oval Truck parts. He was helpful, and he did pack the glass well, so it made the trip without damage.

A few new wrinkles
had a leaking rear pinion seal so took to garage to fix. Noticed a vibration under load so had them look at drive line. Diaganosis is shot rear axle gears and issues with the AOD. Maybe I need to be looking for a compatible transmission, but not really looking to replace it right now.
