60-63 Windshield "A" pillar
Hello Everyone!.
just drug out the old 60 hoping to start back working on it...but was curious if any sheetmetal companys may have something in the works for patch panels in the windshield A pillar, beyond the panel for the w/s overhang for the 60-63. i do see it available for 64-66..im sure something will come out after make this area from scratch lol. Thanks for any info! |

Re: 60-63 Windshield "A" pillar
I looked for the same parts for my 61 several years ago and thought the same thing, apparently nothing has came out since. I bought a parts truck recently and the top of the A pillars are good. I am going to cut them off and would be willing to let someone use them to make reproductions off but I doubt anyone will.

I wish we could get those pieces reproduced. It would help save a whole bunch of trucks. I doubt that the Auto Metal Direct guys have looked into doing those sections yet.

As always the 60-63. Especially 60-62 trucks are the red headed step child of trucks...no offense to any Red Head step children... you would think they would make these panels since they made this cab style a year longer than the 64-66 cab...IDK maybe it's production numbers...oh well I'll get started back to cutting and panel beating.maybe AMD will look at this thread...so you 60-63 guys and gals post up the need.

Re: 60-63 Windshield "A" pillar
The outer panel also fits at 60-63, but is unfortunately 1/2" too short and has to be extended with a patch. The inner panel only fits in the surface, not on the post. I had to rebuild the inner post at the top, which was a challenge.
