Customs Glass guys... Is this possible?

I've got a 53 Ford Ranchwagon that has a mild chop... about 2".
Looking for a front windshield to chop , we noticed that the Ranchwagon front glass is apparently taller by 2 inches than the 2dr. coupe/Victoria. Is this possible? Did Ford actually produce two different windshields for their 52-54 models? Any of you Ford guys know for sure?
Maybe I can just order the shorter windshield and not have to cut the glass.

 

Know anyone with an old Hollander book? That would tell you for sure. My buddy that used to run a small junk yard always said some things in the Hollander book were off a little, but the glas was always spot on. Gene

 

I think there is a difference in the wagon & the convertibles but I honestly don't know how much difference there is....you might luck out. HRP

Give http://www.autocityclassic.com/1952-1954-ford-glass/ a call,I'll bet they can help.

 

I know tri five sedan windshields are taller than the hardtops. I forget the difference.

 

I texted NONAME and he said convertibles and HT cars have a 2 inch shorter windshield.

 

Yup, pretty common

 

My hollander says wagons are same as sedans...hardtop is different but doesn't give dimensions

 

The info we found only listed the coupe/ Victoria as being 2 inches shorter. all of the other models appear the same

 

Its probably not going to be just 2" shorter, it may not have the same contours or shape on the edge.

 

I'm guessing it'd be close everywhere else because the front fenders and dashes interchange so that the lower width would be a constant. I'm not sure how much play is in a windshield gasket, but the 53 Fords have an enormous rubber gasket so I think there's some forgiveness. Just checking around, the shipping is as much as the friggin glass. Road trip!

 

They are shorter and a few people have chopped their cars to match the height of the Victoria windshield to avoid having to cut glass. It's one of the very few nice things about chopping a 52-54 Ford.

I used some Victoria windshield moldings on my chopped '53 and the shape of the A pillars was the same and they fit, the stainless covers up the post nicely.
