'59 F100 - Need a Driver's window

Hi all,

I need the Driver's side window for my '59. Is there a good source for these or does anyone have one laying around?

Thanks,

Greg

You should be able to go to a local glass shop and get this cut for about $25.00.

Hi, Be sure to bring the window lift channel with you. The glass setting tape (rubber piece) will be very hard, brittle, and dry rotted after 42 years. Most places will mount the new glass in the channel for you with new setting tape.

As the truck is immobile (nasty missing heads problem). Easiest to take down the Passenger as a template? Or do those glass folks have patterns? Hmmm - maybe I'll take the whole door to them. You laugh - I pulled the windshield frame off of my M38A1 and they nailed it. I figure they can't miss with the whole door and the Passenger window.

Thanks to all,

Greg

Hi Greg, I seriously doubt that the glass shop would have a pattern on hand (unless there is literally a ton of '57-'60 Ford trucks in your area). Just the passenger side window would be a sufficient pattern, as the door glass is interchangeable between both doors.
