    I need a windshield frame for my 32 ford pickup project.
    I see that Mac's and Howell's both offer them.
    Any thoughts/advice?
    Thanks

    I've bought from both. Never an issue with either of them.

    Are you building a hotrod and does not have to be original and your going to chop it? Well if that's the case use a model a closed car one. You can pick one up for under a hundred buck and it's steel and real well kinda..

    Yes, I will be chopping it. If I go the model a route will I still have the slide out option?
    Thanks J&D I would appreciate that number.

    Thanks everyone.
     
  7. Yes if you chop it in the right places

    is the lower arc of a model a windshield the same arc as a 32 pickup?
     
  9. Its the same. But there is ledge on the Model A frame that slides over the dashboard. You will need to cut this off so it will work in the 32/34 pickup.
    BTW, Speedway also sells them but they are aluminum.

    The model a windshield will work in a unchopped truck as well with swing out and swing out arms, the swingout arms are almost identical to model As Just make sure on your dimensions. A slantwindow vicky mordoor will not fit were it's shorter and wider and rare to find as well The 1932 33 34 truck share a number of model a ford parts
