I'm in the process of getting new glass made up for the 37 PU. What is the cab based on, the Hudson sedan? Just wondering what the glass (windshield and door glass) interchanges with.

    I'm pretty sure the windshield glass would be the same as the Hudson or Terraplane, but be careful on the door glass. I believe the truck does not have vent windows, but rather, that the glass slides backwards slightly to allow fresh air to enter. Then (as you continue to crank) it drops down into the door. I THINK this would be from the Terraplane 4-door sedans (not 2-door sedan or coupes) of the model 71 ("Deluxe") or commercial types (model 70 or 78).

    The glass would be the same as that in the 4 door sedan. I finished my 36

    pickup about a year ago but I had the old glass to use as a pattern.

    I can't find the part # of just the glass in the 37 Hudson parts manual.

    Is the Hudson sedan glass the same as the Terraplane model?

    According to the parts manual, the front doors are the same in models

    71 sedan (Terraplane) 70 & 78 cab-cab pu.

    If I am thinking right, the hudson body is not listed above, so is that body style different than the Terraplane as far as doors and such?

    The PU windshield measures 12" tall, the glass company has a hudson listing at 14".

    The Hudson (and some more expensive Terraplanes) would have a disappearing vent window. The Terraplane truck won't have one at all.
