62 window frame

[we born in 62]

im needing metal frames that wrap the door glass on my 62 haven't found any but noticed their available for the 55 to 59 trucks that look the same anyone know if the glass is the same size 50s as the 62

I really doubt that they are the same and I don't think anyone sells them. Best bet is to fix the ones you have or go to the junk yard. Some trucks came with them and some didn't. The ones with them have different felt in the channel but the doors are the same.

If you're talking about the exterior trim, the 60-66 versions you've seen were only available originally on GMC trucks. They do however fit perfectly on Chevy trucks as well.

Here are the two styles:

Or are you talking about this glass frame?




If so, I have yet to find them reproduced. I'm interested to know if the 55-59 will fit as well. As you see I'm gonna need to replace the glass and I'm not sure if I can get the frame/metal strip off without damaging it.

the glass will come out. remove the bottom that attaches to window regulator then use a piece of wood (2x2--2x4) put it against the metal frame and tap frame off. pic is before glass install after re-paint. have fun

thanks everyone for the info and yes spacedebris I met the glass frame I have one side and not the other

I thought so. Just wanted to make sure.

As far as I can tell the door glass for the 55-59 LOOKS the same as the 60-63 but I have no way of physically comparing or measuring. If they are not the same I'll bet they are really close. Maybe close enough to modify or tweek into fitting.

Can anyone confirm if the door glass for the 55-59 are the same as the 60-63? I think I'll post this over on the pre 60 section and see if anyone there can help also.
