Quality window glass

Re: Quality window glass
My 36 did not have any side glass in it and I lucked out and found a glass shop that had the old patterns. My suggestion would be to find a good local glass shop and use your existing glass as patterns. Ed

Re: Quality window glass
As Ed says, use a local shop to cut new glass, BUT be sure they cut it where there are no logos showing anywhere, then contact Roy Nacewicz and buy his kit to put Ford bugs on the glass yourself. Good luck.

Re: Quality window glass
I also got all my glass for 36' truck from Chris Blattie, in dark gray tint, and he boxes everything up real nice in wood box with handle, he is in Montana, and will answer all questions with good communication. All glass for a 36' truck was around $300

Re: Quality window glass
Because you are using a copy of a copy for a pattern, don't miss a slight taper in the 2" run toward the front of the glass. Tape your arms while working in the door. The taper in the 2" run is important. You'll see why.
