Re: Classic Truck Glass
Bought my complete glass set from Auto City as I was acquiring parts before paint. Started at doors first after paint and the PW kit from Nu-Relics was not a good fit. After discussing with them, their kit is best suited for original doors. My repop doors have enough difference that it just wouldn’t work. Switched to SPW and got them in without issue. But the one piece glass from Auto City and the templates that came with the kits were all different. We had to custom cut locally to get proper fit of the glass.
So it may be a long shot to buy a one-piece glass and expect it to fit. These cabs have seen lots of abuse over the years and the doors get worked over to fit the cabs. That skinny frame could be manipulated around to fit the surrounding sheet and metal and change the shape of the window frame. Best to get the power regulator operating and then play with 1/4” plywood and cardboard to perfect your shape. You can then have a glass shop match it. Or, buy the glass with a return policy just in case and make a plywood template from that glass for starters to see if it will work to your satisfaction.
