Work on My F8, No. 11

rusted out windscreen frames is a common problem on these old vehicles . I bought three NOS cab 11 complete windscreens from Bill drew for 15 $ each years ago... I shipped one off to the UK to a friend who also owns a cab 11 C8 . I opted to keep the original glass , but he had it replaced with modern stuff .

Laminated glass windscreens in cars only came into regular use here in the 1970's , before then, the car makers used toughened plate glass , it was cheaper . When I was a kid a big truck passed us and a rock went through the windscreen of the Vanguard , it missed me by a few inches , straight through the toughened glass screen which shattered into thousands of small pieces , the driver couldn't see through the now white crackled screen . Give me laminated anyday .
