Door Glass Patterns
Does anyone have the patterns for the door glass pieces for a 1951 3100? I'm trying to save some money by having a local glass place cut me some.

Re: Door Glass Patterns
I checked with one of my local glass Co. and the cost to cut glass was twice as much as the aftermarket. The new glass I ordered fit like a glove!!

Unfortunately I can't say the fit like a glove though. The windshield has never sealed in the lower outer corners... but the side glass is good!

Re: Door Glass Patterns
I guess it's best if I just order them. May cost more money, but I do want them to fit just right. Thanks guys. You guys are saving me a lot of frustration.

Re: Door Glass Patterns
Ordering doesn't mean they will be right, there have been other threads about poor fitting aftermarket glass. Anyone here have a set out of the doors they can trace and send him? All I have is TF stuff.

Re: Door Glass Patterns
That would really be helpful. I was thinking of trying to get them soon so if someone wants to sell me the patterns, I'd be willing to pay a few bucks. Thanks Orrie.

Re: Door Glass Patterns
I'm not sure if either of my 51 cabs or any of my spare doors has a piece of door glass good enough to get a pattern off. You do have the doors with the vent wings?

Re: Door Glass Patterns
That is great news. I'd like to get them cut this week so I can install them on Saturday. Let me know how much it will cost you for the trouble and shipping. My zip is 90810.

Re: Door Glass Patterns
Not a problem. I still need to pick up the other pieces other than the glass on Saturday. I have plenty of thing I can do instead. Take your time. I'm just happy to know I'll have it.

Re: Door Glass Patterns
my51 - Hey, I didn't quite make it to the door on Saturday but I am still working on getting there. I had some problems with my 700R4 swap... it is apparently about 2 inches longer than my TH350, for the mounting bolts that is, and now I have to modify the rear mounting holes in the xmember. It never ends!

Re: Door Glass Patterns
I've got the glass out of my '51 doors to put in the '52 I'll be glad to make the patterns for you tonight. I'll bring them with me to work so let me know and I'll send them out tomorrow.

Re: Door Glass Patterns
That's awesome. I'll email you my address. Let me know how much the shipping and trouble costs and I'll send you a money order. Does yours have the vent wings too?
