I've got a 40 coupe that has been modified into a full window on both doors.
Would 39 regulators work for now until I can get the original wind wing supports and regulators?

I don't think the mounting holes are the same. I looked it up, but it didn't tell me much.

The inner structure of the door should accept the 39 regulator. You'll need to install the 39 tracks, etc. of course.
Me? I'd find the '40 stuff and bring it back to "original".

Thanks...
I plan to bring it back to original once I find the parts, but got a few more critical parts ahead of the windows.... I just want to get rid of the electric window set up for now and still be able to use the windows.
Thanks for your help... Tom

What do you have?
Did both the standard and deluxe have wind wings?
Thanks... Tom

Just a personal preference and opinion, but I like the '39 style. I had a '40 with late model
Ford drive line and we traveled a good bit in it. The windows had an annoying wind noise above 60 that I was never able to correct. I have a '38 now with the one-piece windows and much prefer the windows in it.

Kube. Hows the '40 pickup coming? Any updates?

WANNAT · 01-26-2017, 10:30 PM

40CPE...
In your opinion.... is the one piece window something that works in a 40 for just kicking around and having fun in?
This project will never be a show car... I am not as concerned with being 100 percent correct now, I just want a driver or a grocery getter ... maybe later when I'm retired and have more time and money, I might want to go a full period correct restoration.

As I said, I was running at interstate speeds when the wind noise bothered me. Kicking around town shouldn't be a problem with either style. If the car already has the one-piece and it doesn't bother you, it would be less expense and exertion to leave it be. My opinion, YMMV. Don't shoot me Kube.

Yes,but the garnish is different.The right side that I have is for a deluxe,you can use it on a standard.If you bought a left side for a deluxe then it would match.
