Hello!!
Just by luck, I was able to find a pair of good windshield frames for my 41 COE.
They are now cleaned up, nearly ready for paint and the installation of the new glass.
The next obstacle is finding the rubber seal that goes around the outside of the frames and seals to the cab.
At one time Bob Drake did a run of these, but according to the salesmen I spoke with today, that was five years ago, and the ones they didn't sell were purchased by one person. They could not remember the gentleman’s name.
If anyone knows who that person might be, or if you have any suggestions on where I might find the seals I would appreciate it.
My next best alternative is finding a seal with close to the same profile and making it work.
Any help is appreciated!!

Try Joblot Ford in NY, they are knowledgable on trucks and may be able to give you a lead, ask for James.

Good Luck Paul J.

I have heard (but not verified) that the 39 ford closed car windshield gasket has the same profile so you could use that. I think you would need two to have enough material to make it work.

good luck

EDIT Also check with "Northern Classic Trucks" heard rumor that they are starting to make them?
