Welcome to FTE

Front window = door or windshield?

The door glass is flat, so any glass shop can cut you a new one.

Post if you need a windshield, I have a local (LA) source, and will list the name here, in case someone else needs one.

Not all the glass is flat,I went and checked photos of that year of van, the windshield is curved, not flat as posted above. The other glass is flat. I'll have to see if they still have any in stock.

Heres a reference for future glass sizes.
Vent Glass 10' X16" Both sides
Doorglass 18" X 22" Both sides
Backdoor 16" X 22" Both side doors and back doors

Well as I posted, Go to a PPG Autoglass shop and ask them for the windshield listed above. And if you need the rest of the glass,, which "IS" flat, there are the sizes for you too. Most of the glass for the rest of the trucks and vanscome in CLEAR or with GREEN TINT. Most shop will still cut the glass to fit.

I have a 5 window truck and the one window has pits from my mistake of cutting something with a cutting torch near the glass. Those are hard to find I hear. Eventually I will have to replace it.

1961/67 Econoline: Windshield is the same. NAGS #W603

1963 Econoline/Need parts!!!

Hi everyone! I am finding it very difficult to find a tailgate and windshield for a 1963 Econoline pick up. Would anyone be kind enough to share where I might be able to find them? I am in LA county so hoping to find something near here if not then any suggestions will do. Thanks in advance!

Go to any auto glass shop and tell 'em you want a windshield for a 1961/67 Econoline, their part number is NAGS: W603 .. Then specify clear or tinted.

1961/67 E100 (Econoline) pickup tailgates are very hard to find and there are TWO different versions, as one is higher than the other.

C2UZ-8740702-A .. E100 Tailgate - 19 1/2" high x 50 3/4" wide.

C2UZ-8740702-B .. E100 Tailgate - 23 1/2" high x 50 3/4" wide.

At one time, there were two of these tailgates at an L/A junkyard, they're NOS (New Old Stock) but are out of the boxes, so they have some surface rust. I don't recall the size.

The last time I was there was 2013, but they've been there since 1969, so are probably still there today.

The thing is, if you want to go and look, the yard is closed on weekends, and I'll have to meet you there. But I cannot do this until after 12/5/2014.

Let me know: sylhall@aol.com

Hey Bill, I noticed you didn't list the name of the glass shop where I might be able to find a front windshield for my econoline. I'm having trouble finding one :/. Btw I live in LA

I believe Bill said "Go to any auto glass shop." If your local auto glass shop can not order the windshield, then look for a shop that wants your business.
