Windshield G506 Value

Post by MIKEN »

What would be the value for a Chevy G506 1 1/2 ton truck windshield frame, no glass:?:
I think that these windshield frames fit all WWII Chevy trucks, and maybe CCKWs.
Thanks MikeN

The most common problem with these is rust through of the thin sheet metal frame. The rust through usually occurs in the bottom corners of the glass channel, and for some reason most I've seen are worse on the drivers side.

For a frame of reference (no pun intended), a NOS frame is available from Frank V. for $275 USD, while a reproduction frame is available from Jim Carter for a similar price.

Check the latest issue of the MVPA magazine "Supply Line". Frank advertises in there all the time.

Good clean originals that will still disassemble in order to install glass are worth $200-$500.00. The "V"-Nuts that join the halves and their screws can be a headache. NOS complete with glass and Weatherstrip can add up to $700.00 or more.
