I have a vintage 1961 ford Boyertown truck P350 ...Both doors have a window that have fixed glass I would at least like to have the drivers door open for more air ... Rough open is @ 18 inches @ 22inches High @ (trucks in storage) Any thing I can use to take the 1/4 glass out and make my own frame so I can open them (it).. Or where I can get the supplies to make it..Thank-you!...DANiel
I ordered sliding windows from a boat place (I liked them in 2 Lane Blacktop) for a Bantam coupe. They make any size. Only problem I had was radius in corner was larger so I built up my fiberglass doors in these spots and overlaid a layer 1/2" onto front of frames. Boxing mine in with inner fiberglass board trim on inside. Might be easier to add window channel and regulator for conventional window, but I would seriously consider grabbing a vent and door off an old truck and running it through the kick panel or firewall where it can suck cold air.
Update! I went to my local guy that has box vans step vans etc called Bastins truck parts in Pa. He had a old 65 Chevrolet truck (delivery bread truck)that had a slider init ! it was way to big but the old school curves where perfect . I cut all sides and used channel to make sure it would stay together ..perfect light except for my cuts.. It is now at the glass shop for some new glass... I'm thinking of JB weld for the cuts or just silicone Best part so far is I have $40.00 in it and it looks just like the other glass frames!
