Default 34 pickup door glass size

Hi guys,
Can anyone give me the exact dimension of the 34 Pickup door glass. Both of mine were removed by large calibre bullets at some stage.
I would buy the pre-cut glass package but they wont ship to us down under.
Yes , I can measure the width of the opening accurately but I am wondering what sort of clearances they have to allow for smooth operation.
Any help would be much appreciated
thanks
Dave h

I just measured an original door glass removed from my '34 pickup. It is 16 5/8 by 25 1/2 inches. If you want metric you'll have to do the arithmetic. Henry didn't do metric (except for spark plugs!!).

Thank you 2ndgeer for your trouble. No inches are just fine. Us old Ford nuts are quite used to inches etc. Australia metricated in 1966 but with everything Ford in imperial we do both!

Use these above numbers and take a bit of 3ply or thin custom wood to make a pattern and wind up and down to check movement and adjust the radius on the top corners.. The glass cutters will mimic any errors in your pattern.also. Ask me how I know!!
