NOS Cab 13 windshield glass dimensions
Just for reference for anyone who is looking to replace their windshield glass in the 13 cab (both Chev and Ford I believe), I just measured up some NOS glass that I'm putting into my Chev. Dimensions are as follows:
TOP: 760mm BOTTOM: 758mm SHORT SIDE: 335mm LONG SIDE: 377mm |

For future resource how thick
Hi Beau
Just for the person looking at this thread 10 years from now. How thick is the glass? This type of information is just so much help for further restorations. I've saved one of the original windshield glass panel which I replaced years ago for future reference. When it is a little warmer I'll have to pull it out and measure it to add to the information you have just added to the MLU information base. Thanks. Cheers Phil |

And...does the NOS original still have a slightly greenish tint (not for sun screen, but just because of how it was made)? I expect so as clear glass seems to be a newer thing.

Tempered construction glass has the greenish tint still

I will get thickness, diagonal measurements and will try and get exact angles as well tomorrow. Good thing I didn’t finish putting the last one in today...

Additional information as requested
Ok, so bear with me here in my explaining and if you don’t understand something I’ll try and reexplain it but here we go...
Glass thickness is 7mm From the top of the short side to the bottom of the long side is 845mm, from the bottom of the short side to the top of the long side is 828mm Both top corners are 90 degrees as previously stated. Now for the tricky bit so someone correct me if I’m wrong here but I believe I’m correct. I flipped the glass pane upside down on a level surface, then using some fancy protractor the old man had in the shed that uses gravity to measure its angles, a 5 degree downward (or upward depending which way you look at it I guess) slope. So I believe that the long side bottom angle (smaller angle of the two) is 85 degrees and the short side bottom angle (larger angle of the two) is 95 degrees. And as too the greenish tint, there is a slightly greenish shade to it looking through the pane but looking side on to the pane (looking at the thickness of the pane if you will) is definitely a greenish-aqua colour. Sorry for the long winded explaination but I hope this answers anyone’s questions reguarding the windscreen glass, as it’s about to be put back together. |
Something's not right. The bottom side should be slightly longer than the top being a 'slope', but only by about 1mm. If the 760mm is right, mathematically the bottom should be 761mm. Maybe some rounding due to polishing?
If you subtract the short side from the long (ie. 377mm-335mm 42mm) and make a triangle with sides of 760mm (width) and 42mm (tall) the angles work out to 86.83 degrees (lower, outer angle) and 3.16 degrees (which plus 90 degrees makes the lower, inner angle 93.16 degrees. But who cares so long as the top 760 and 377/335 sides are right with 90 degree top corners. Quote:
