old doors vs new?

[Gumby]

Anybody try to swap parts from a non-vent window door to a early door?

It looks like I could just take the vent window out and use the glass and regulator from the late door.

 

[Pighead]

Indeed. Pighead did something similar but the other way around. He put a windwing into a '74 door. Doors are almost identical inside.

i too have early wing window doors, i am gonna swap the whole frame into my later wingless doors

 

[mookie]

i kinda dig my wing windows...

 

[snailwagon]

I liked my wing windows until I flopped it with one opened.

I've also been able to interchange parts on the doors.

 

[Gumby]

Great. I like winged windows too, but I have glass for the wingless, mangled ones.

aren't 78-79 doors different tho? more curved in the front?

enough to cause the window to be different?

I believe so, 78 and 79 are there own units, not interchangable with the earlier ones.

I think the door lowers are the same, but not the uppers, I think.

 

[RHINO]

yeah just the frames and glass are different.

IIRC; the regulator arms are different tween the early pigs and later from 77-78? on ones;

i have a pair of vent glasses with frames sitting in the back of the 45, for those that have broken em. vent windows rock

 

[Gumby]

What I apparently need now is side glass.

I'm not totally broken up about it as I would have like to keep the vent windows anyway.

for the door? or for the cargo? i've got cargo and may have door, but i'll have to check

 

[Gumby]

Door.

 

[Pighead]

Door.

1) Pigdoors are lying around all over this continent. Shouldn't be hard to find a used front door window glass close by...
B) Pighead gots door window glasses, but is afraid shipping may be a problem..
III) Isn't that just a flat piece of glass that could be cut locally?

 

[nuclearlemon]

I'll check this weekend

1) ain't many pigs locally
B) shipping would be a pain
III) That's what 'll probably happen.
