Passenger side windscreen has been installed back on the truck. Well, when I say installed 'back', I mean installed on my truck, not its original truck. That was scrapped some time ago by the owner and same fellow gave me this frame.
It's good to see that
FINALLY something fits as it's supposed to, without major surgery to adapt. The only 'jiggery' needed was a minor mashing of the hinge piece, so the window would close well. It worked, and has given no problems since.
The only concern is the window adjustment slides/rods sit high above the line of the window support panel, and I hope the extra height of the cab roof is sufficient that they dont touch there. I guess Ford knew what they were doing, but time will tell.
My very great thanks to David DeWeese for the set of window adjustment/locking parts!
All those parts were used on this window, so if anyone has another set of 2 slides, hex shaped spacers & the tightening wheels, I would be very interested in buying them so I can do the other side.
Even the hex bits and adjustment wheels would be good. I have a couple of ratty slide bits that I may be able to weld up & repair.
