'36 window patterns
Hi guys,
I am a regular on the '48-60 forum but now I have a request for someone on this board. My neighbor is building a '36 Ford street rod. He pieced this truck together with a 1 1/2 ton cab he bought from a farmer. It was sitting in a field and didn't have any glass. He was able to take the windshield frame to a glass shop and have a windshield made. He needs to get the rest of the glass and needs patterns for the doors and rear window. The rear window shouldn't be too hard, I assume he could trace the opening onto a piece of cardboard but the doors are another story. There is no way to tell what the angles of the sidees and radii of the corners should be. I need patters for the side glass. If you have a set of windows that aren't in a truck yet could you trace one of the side windows for me?
Any help would be appreciated.

Don't quote me on this but I was under the impression that 1 1/2 ton and 1/2 ton were the same cab mine is 1/2 ton. I think that one of the old parts dealers had the pattern. If you want, give me some dimensions and I'll check it against mine. I know someone with your answer will show up shortly. I'm still trying to figure out what fits what and even what a 36 is A? B? anybody know??
Thanks DD

Yes, I was assuming the cabs were all the same as they are for the '48-52s but I wasn't sure. I thought some of the earlier vehicles, mayby the '20s or '30s had different bodies, just wasn't sure when Ford started to standardize their trucks.
