Vent window glass tracing

Can anyone e-mail or send a tracing of a 48-52 vent window glass. Also I could use a 48-49 back window size tracing. Thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Oscar

Take the window frame to a glass shop and let them cut one for you .

Does the glass end exactly at the open end or does it sick out a half inch or so. Not sure that is why I wanted to get a tracing if possible. If the frame had all three sides that could easily be done, but without the division bar secured during measuring how do you be sure? Most pictures I have seen show the glass sticking past the frame just a little.

Thanks,

Oscar

I have always bought mine from Sacramento Vintage Ford, as Im in Calif, and was always happy. OK that said I just dug around and found my original pieces of glass.(wing and back), So if you are still interested in tracing's Id be more than happy to mail em off to you, just PM me your address.

my 2 cents On my 50 I had the vent glass cut at a local glass shop it cost me $15 and the door was 30 I found this to be better because I didn't pay extra on shipping I can get you a pattern from my old glass but it would take a few weeks as the truck is up on the farm and I should be going in a few weeks, I have the small back window, my friends 51 has a larger or longer back window
