Anyone have their windshield out? Need to verify a dimension - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**A1971Blazer** · 01-14-2022, 04:54 PM

Getting ready to weld in the windshield area.
I need to verify the width of the opening all the way across the very top of the WS frame at the corners.
I want to make sure it matches the jig that I made for the spacing
I had to remove it to put in the inner A pillars

thanks Grumpy…I’m at 56-5/8” 👍

**Grumpy old man** · 01-14-2022, 05:41 PM

I have another 67 cab burried in the corner of the garage , and 2 more outside covered in tarps , I'll move some stuff out of the way and get some more measurements .

**HO455** · 01-14-2022, 05:48 PM

Sounds like Grumpy has you covered. I'm having the windshield on my Burban pulled and resealed here in another 30 minutes. Would have been perfect timing.

**Jason Banks** · 01-14-2022, 06:11 PM

I'm going to confirm Grumpy's 56 1/2 measurement. That is what mine is.

**A1971Blazer** · 01-14-2022, 07:21 PM

this forum is better than four years of college
thanks to all…..
I’ll post the results soon
much appreciated ��

I'll post my dimensions shortly. Gotta have dinner with the wife first 😉

tinman_local2 · 01-14-2022, 08:37 PM

Same. 56 1/2".

BigBird05 · 01-14-2022, 10:15 PM

Just to check with you guys but is that the straight line dimension or is that following the windshield curve?

I’m certain it’s straight line….that’s close to my existing measurement with everything just vise gripped in place ….when I pulled my bracing the jig I had moved about 1/8”
I’ll make a new gauge to go across and clamp everything in place
I don’t want any surprises when I go to install the windshield

Grumpy…..your cab looks fantastic…what would you take for it? cash money tomorrow?

67 Blue Truck · 02-10-2022, 07:49 PM

Just to be Crystal clear, I assume you are measuring from the end of the black arrow and not the end of the red arrow?

Thanks!

yes…black arrow

67 Blue Truck · 02-11-2022, 10:33 AM

One last question. What is the distance between the drivers and passengers sides where the red arrow is?

**Jason Banks** · 02-11-2022, 10:38 AM

I get 57 1/4

Kind of hard to measure with one person. Tape measure basically rests on the top of the dash to measure.

67 Blue Truck · 02-11-2022, 11:16 AM

Awesome!! Thank you so much!!

**BIG ORANGE** · 05-30-2024, 08:06 PM

How about top to bottom in the center of the frame opening?
Thanks

**BIG ORANGE** · 05-31-2024, 03:26 PM

Come on guys I really need this measurement,,,,,,, please.....

**A1971Blazer** · 05-31-2024, 04:54 PM

it’s 21” pretty much all the way across in the vertical direction….inside edges of the windshield frame.

**A1971Blazer** · 05-31-2024, 06:30 PM

I made braces for that area because I'm replacing the windshield header on this cab.
It's not the best picture, but I did go out to the shed to verify...21"
