Window glass for my 1951 5 window
He guys,
Can you tell me who makes the very best and best fitting glass for the corner windows on my 1951 3100 5 window. Also the best place to buy it. Thanks for your help |

Re: Window glass for my 1951 5 window
I don't know about "best fitting" being I haven't installed mine and my top is chopped so it's all out the window anyway (if you will pardon the pun). But Bob's auto glass 1-541-636-3025 treated me like a king and the glass was the best price I had found. I would put a crisp $10 bill on it that every one of these windows you see for sale are made by the same company anyway, all these suppliers are doing is "distributing" the product, they don't make it. But honestly, Dustin at Bob's glass was very nice to do business with and the glass arrived promptly.

Re: Window glass for my 1951 5 window
Thanks for the input Brian...I have heard that some of the rear corner glass out there for these trucks is made thinner than the original and does fit well. I want to get it right the first time...seems like many times we end up buying parts 2 or 3 time before we get it right.
Thanks Will |

Re: Window glass for my 1951 5 window
The one I bought is laminated glass, the originals were tempered. As I remember when I was checking some were tempered and some were laminated. The ones I got are certainly no thinner that I remember. I pulled them out of the box and checked with an original glass for shape, that is what I was most concerned with. In looking them over they looked identical other than the old ones were tempered.
