    or, IF at all possible, maybe with your help I can draw up a full side flat plan - if you like in adobe illustrator, almost laser/plasma cutter ready, with the sausage shapes and the like
    and the central stiffening part,
    I have welded in my floor pan in the cab, so i can template that i think quite easily
    done a plain one already and I dont like it.
    want it to appear more stock
    need pics - dimensions

    Just an FYI for you guys. I have been looking for a good windshield frame for my 35-36 pickup. I was googling some info on another vendor that seemed to be having issues with communication etc., so I was a little apprehensive to send any money.

    Used frames were bringing in the area of 400-600 and you run the risk of rust popping up after you get it painted.

    I read a post over on the Ford Barn about a company called N/C Industries out of Sayre, PA. I have them a call and he told me that they did have a run coming up for the windshield frame I needed, so he took my order and told me it would be a few weeks.

    Two weeks later he called and said it was ready.
    It showed up today. Packing was awesome. This frame set me back $600. I was stoked when O opened the box. These guys make art. I am more than pleased. It’s hard to tell in the pics, but it is a nice frame.

    Good luck with that. I've been looking for years.
    There was a guy building handmade steel rear fenders several years ago but haven't seen anything in quit a while.
    Price was $1000 each.

    I started looking for rear fenders at Pate in 1981. They simply do not exist.

    I bought an extra set back when Rudy Rodriguez built his truck and everybody went crazy. I bought a set of front fenders, rear fenders and running boards off of the Hamb classifieds. I knew it wouldn’t last…so I was in the buying mode.

    They show up occasionally on the Facebook 35-37 Ford pickup page. Not sure if they’re legitimate or scams, though, and they are usually too far away to send money without laying eyes on them, or already sold by the time I see the posting.

    Plus, they’re spendy.

    I have two 36 pickups, and one steel plus two fiberglass rear fenders, so I have a fender deficit, too.

    Nice to see the windshields are back. I bought a repro from Mac’s years ago, when the guy from NY was still making them. Nice piece. I found another in useable shape at Iola. Good enough for me, but not up to HAMB standards.

    If only I had ordered two Windshield regulators instead of one when Drake had the last run made. I think they were $45 or so at the time.

    I used a pass car regulator. Worked fine.

    New reproduction or new? The reproductions are listed some places, but CWMoss confirmed they are listed in the catalog, but not in stock and no ETA.

    I bought an old pass car regulator off of eBay. I took a gamble and it worked out.

    The regulators for the 35/36 passenger, commercial, and truck are the same part number. There is a guy out East--"thisolecoupe" that makes all the parts or will rebuild for you. I have bought parts from him and her and the workmanship is excellent.

    I bought a set of rear fenders from Colton @ http://www.hardisonmetalshaping.com/new-rear-fenders-to-fit-35-37-ford-pickup.html. They are still in the box shipped to me and the 36 pick up may not be a future project afterall. Looking to sell it (the 36)I think. Fenders are a work of art. Check out his web site and see the detail and quality of his build. They were not cheap but they are (unicorn) steel. The deposit was $1000 and the final bill was $4K + shipping two years ago. Not sure what todays price would be.

    I looked for rear fenders for 30 years, and learned that everyone else is looking too, then got 5 at Pate one year

    The guy is an artist. Someday I will own a set. Maybe a retirement present to myself.

    I have been banging away at my 36 for a few years now, and always come back to this thread for info or pics. I want to share a few pics I found online. Not my truck, but may help others with "how do these go" questions. I had the same question, how do these go, but couldn't find anything.

    Inner fender location and how they look installed.
