Default Rear window of f60l with cab numer 13

Hello

Ending the restoration of my FORD CANADA F60L builded in 1945, I would like to know the kind of the rear window. When I buy the truck , there was a fixed glass made in plastic. On an other FORD F15 from 1942 we have a rear window made of two steel plates (pic included).
For my truck, please , is the plexiglass correct? Thank for any answer.
Regards Serge

The steel plates are correct. Good luck finding weatherstrip for them that works. Everything I ever found was on the very tight side.

Default Cab n°13 rear window

Hello

I thank you for your good explanations and pics. I think that the plexiglass previously founded was a modification of French army in the aim to upgrade the watertightness.

Best regards Serge
