33/34 5W and 3W garnish moulding question

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Comet, Nov 13, 2009.

  1. Can anyone tell me if the rear window garnish mouldings on a 33/34 Ford are interchangable between the 3W and 5W?

    i have worked on a few of these recently and didn't see any difference from the 5 window to 3 window. the window openings look identical and they use the same wood. so i'd have to say yes, but i don't know for a *fact*.

    Yes, I have a 5 window and I'm sure they're the same. You want the one with the square bottom corners though, not the rounded bottoms as they are from a sedan.

    Yes, they are the same. I have also taken a sedan rear window garnish and straightened the curve in the bottom edge and will fit a coupe. Then it matches the quarter garnish if a 5w.

    As the owner of both a 3 and 5 window, I agree with those who answered yes.

    The 33-34 passenger cars all use the same back glass garnish moulding.

    The sedan rear garnish mouldings are not the same as the coupes.
     
  8. Right, I knew the sedans were different. And I thought the coupes both were the same, but just wanted to confirm. Thanks everyone!

    BTW, if anyone has a lead on 33/34 coupe rear garnish moulding, let me know!
     
  9. If you don't find one, I have a nice 34 sedan rear garnish you can tweak. Not going anywhere, it just hangs on the wall.

  11. Right on, thanks Mark. Hope all is well with you!
     
  12. Who is making a good rear wood kit for the 3 window?
