Thread: Window Frame Photos?

  1. #1

    Default Window Frame Photos?

    My truck did not come with a top. Does anyone have extra hoops/frames?

    Pretty expensive to buy. Thinking I could make some.

    Can someone send me a profile photo of the window frame, where the window meets the roof hoop frame...3 in the schematic below is the whole part, I really just need to see the part the window comes in contact with.

    I suspect it is just angle, with a rubber seal, but I have never seen one in person, so a photo would really help me out.

    I have a spare hard top if you are looking for one....And can figure out how to get it to Colorado...
    Is that real money?

    Strap it to a pallet and drop it off at Fastenal.

    Here are a few from the inside.

    My canvas is shrunk too tight right now to unsnap to get a better picture of the outside of frame.

    But anyhow, there is a sheet metal angle welded to small rectangular steel tubing that makes up the frame around the window.

    It is exactly the right size to knock the sh$%@#%^ out of your head if you don't duck enough, lol! I may have one to measure for you this weekend when I get out into the garage.
    Come and take it
    Go work at joann fabrics if you can't shoot a gun

    Jeepdan,

    Thanks for the pictures. Very helpful. Can you roll down the window, and take one from the outside so that I can see how the window seal works?

    Here is the idea. Alfa's dump M715 has a custom top, and it looks like he used the same windshield glass dimension for the rear window of his hard top. I really like that design/visibility, so I am trying to figure out how to fab a top like his, but given I don't have frames to work with, I have to figure it out. Looks like 1" square tube is the frame the angle is attached to?

    Here are a few pictures that I took last year for someone else.
    I can get some measurements later today for you.



    In the pic below, you can see how the weather trip continues down onto the door pillar pinch weld.

    Using a ruler, the tubing looks to be 3/4"x 1 1/4" rectangle.
