How to replace the windows in a 51 5 window

I'm new to this series of trucks, picked up a 51 5 window yesterday and it will need all new glass, the side windows are gone but the tracks were in the bottom of the doors, do I need to remove the wing windows to replace the glass and if so is there a tool to remove the screws they look a bit odd.

Thanks, I will start a thread on it tomorrow, I will need a bunch of parts!

They are clutch head screws, you can get the bits from eBay.

Yes the vent window has to be removed to replace the side glass.

just did my glass in my 56, bought the glass on ebay in the frames and it was delivered in 2 or 3 days. There's a DIY section on brothers trucks on how to do a TF, yours might be close to the same. If not youtube it

take your glass in for a pattern at your local glass shop and get what tint or smoke you want at a very reasonable price.
