First things, first.... Welcome to FTE the best Ford truck Forum on the world wide web!

Next, please post pictures of your truck and a short story about it's history if you know it.

Third, buy a 54/55 Ford Truck Shop Manual. There are directions in there.

To help you now, here is a link to a You tube video by one of our members, Dan, about installing door glass. He has other videos you'll find useful.

Oops, I see that's the link for installing the division bar video but you should find the door glass video from there.

From memory: insert glass I to the bottom of the door. Then lower the window mechanism. Lift the glass up into the door and past the mechanism. The rollers should be already installed in the window bracket. Line them up with the pins on the mechanism and pop the pins into the rollers.

Am I forgetting anything, guys?
