I think the big trucks got the metal window frame and the 1/2 tons had regular glass. I think it was expected the big trucks would have a rougher ride and need the extra strength around the glass.

The ton rating of the truck had nothing to do with the door glass. In the brochures for the 42 Ford states that the glass metal framed for the 42 to be more truck tough. The window felts are different between the '40-41 and the '42. The actual door shell is interchangeable, the felts are not.
