Jason.
As can be imagined, this topic has been covered several times, this is one thread that comes to mind :
http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ghlight=frames
A search of this forum should bring up more.
(Got half way through making them and put it in the too hard basket.)
Rich.

Default Are all Pat 13 Windshield Frames Interchangeable?

Hi Jason

If you don't find the dimensions you need, I happen to have the windshield frames for my HUP off the truck at the moment and will measure up what you need.

What I am not sure of is are all Pattern 13 windshield frames inter-changeable?

Cheers Phil

Hey Phil,
I would take you up on your offer if you dont mind just the same.
I have nothing to go by short of one rusted channel with the hinge.
I am going to do some searching today for the sizes,but anything you can do would be great.
Jason

Default Will measure

Hi Jason

I'm off to our clubs summer rally today, but I've put a reminder on my computer calendar to remind me to measure them up next week.

Cheers Phil

Great Phil, works for me, gives me lots of time to get all the MLVW frames apart.

Jason
I needed to build one for my first 12 cab Ford CMP. I aquired M37 inner frames, similar to 2-1/2 ton etc M series like you have.
I made a simple 3/4" plywood jig /template using an original frame on loan.
I simply place the frame on the piece of plywood and used a bunch of strategically placed woodscrews to locate the corners, angles etc.
I cut and fit the M series frame work into place and when I was happy I tack welded the pieces. With a fragile frame constructed, I removed it and had a friend TIG weld all the seams for me.
The M series frames require some mods like removing the brackets, rivets etc but make an excellent choice. BTW, I had to construct the center part of the frame from some flatbar and appropriate machine screws.
I went to an auto glass place to have the glass put in.
