Yet, mite bit breezy w/ out the windshield. Best get the glass installed before you leave and before winter sets in, ideal opportunity to detect if there are any leaks. Curious, did you do it yourself?

I had a extra set of hands help me. It would of been a lot easier if it didnt have the chrome on the front glass.

Since not sure I intend keeping the 65 CC truck considering a 'do it myselfer' using the original glass and purchasing DC gasket. Thank you for the info, yours certainly came out looking mitty fine so there's hope as a 'do it myselfer' .

I would just buy a new gasket and give it a try with the old glass. Worst case you break it and then have to buy a new glass. I havent looked but, lm sure there has to be some videos on youtube that will show you a lot better then l can explain it to you.

Obsolete Ford parts, believe now Mac's Antique Ford parts, and many other Ford part supplier's use DC as a source for repo replacement parts, particularly when it comes to their rubber products like weather strip, window gasket, and seals. Over the years, always found Obsolete Ford supplier offer quality merchandise.
