Great info. However prior to 1950 the trucks didn’t not have the vent window and the forward glass window seal support looks like the rear channel but is welded at bottom to somewhat hat shaped support onto which the vertical channel is welded. Our 1948 glass window forward channel was busted and once stubby portion remained welded to the lower support. We got a replacement channel which comes with the lower support, however, that lower support can only be installed if you cut the doors inner panel. So we mfg a nut plate. Drilled the existing lower support and fastened the vertical support to lower existing support with ⅜” hex head screws. 😊
Ingenuity does the trick again! When I had to replace one of these brackets (for the same reason) I drilled out the spot welds where the bracket was attached and plug welded the new bracket in place. Worked great.
at 1:15...i literally just took this piece from one door to replace into another door. this is an excellent explanation of how the door is constructed. you should skin it with lexan for viewing and explanations but real time condition for assembling /installing the vent window assembly. because in real time you cant see or get your hand and arm in from the outside ,
Good suggestion! I plan to do many more videos but it's difficult to find the time as I work alone. Stay tuned for more, as I have a ground -up restoration on a 54 Chevy pickup scheduled in the near future.
Very informative video. I watched someone else’s video (without the cutout) and there was no discussion about what that wing window attached to, so it’s great to see a cutout view. Much appreciated.
Jerry, hay man sure glad your doing these. I do need some help please. I'm putting in the new vent window from a single glass. where do get the bracket for the post, or do I have to make one. thanks Kurt
If the bracket you are talking about is the one with the nut at the bottom of the post, probably easiest to make one. I can send you one if you still need it.
Yes, I've experienced a lot of pain trying to get that bolt in place but chasing the greasing the thread of the nut on the post, along with using extensions to get the bolt up into place makes the job a bit easier.
If you are talking about the top of the rear felt channel retainer, it was originally held in by a single screw at the beltline and two #8 sheet metal screws at the bottom from the outside of the door. However, I don't worry about installing this upper screw, as the door window channel will hold the top of the retainer in once you install the window channel.
The exterior trim goes on first, then the rain deflectors. The door latch has to go in first on the 47-51 trucks. This is because the door handle shaft has to go into the latch assembly. On the 52-55 1st series trucks, the door handles can go whenever. I always like to install the latch first on all of them.
thank you for the video...I am at the point of re-installing the vent assembly, I followed your instructions, I am having a hard to getting the door glass to slide into the vent post glass channel. Is there any tips or tricks?
With the window in the down position and the glass inserted in the rear channel, angle the vent assembly down into the door while guiding the glass into the vent post channel. It may take a couple tries but you should be able to capture the glass in both channels this way. It's a bit fussy to get all of these parts to cooperate and then get the upper vent window assembly (with the glass) into the window opening where you can screw it in, but it can be done.
I find that both my vent windows were installed about a quarter bubble out of plumb, and pinching the roll up glass , is there enough adjustment at the bottom screw to make the frame vertical ? or is perfectly vertical not necessary ?
Basically you have to remove the retaining screws and disconnect the two sides at the upper joint. Once you have them separated, you need to pinch the two sides inward. This will feel like you are going to crimp the lower corners, but if you are careful and only pinch the sides of the trim inward enough to release the lower part of the trim from the pinch-weld, you should be able to lift the trim out of the opening. There are two or three tabs at the bottom of this trim that you have to make sure are not keeping you from removing the trim. I plan on making a video in the future on this procedure, so watch for it.

Thank you so much Jerry for the detail and insight with the window! Priceless!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for coming back and making more video's. Very informative.
You bet!

Awesome, thank you!
Yet another great video, Thanks again.
My pleasure!

agreed with the blind bolt. it's a 100% hudini blind bolt to that front felt guide.
Yes, I've experienced a lot of pain trying to get that bolt in place but chasing the greasing the thread of the nut on the post, along with using extensions to get the bolt up into place makes the job a bit easier.
Hey Jerry my doors are missing the window guides how is the top held in ?

However, I don't worry about installing this upper screw, as the door window channel will hold the top of the retainer in once you install the window channel.
May I have the part number for The Filling Station's Door Seal Rubber back felt
If you are talking about the felt run channels, the 5 ft is CV -69A and the 8 ft is CV-69
Jerry, when do the exterior moulding and the vent widow deflectors go on? Also the door handles. Do they go on first?
The exterior trim goes on first, then the rain deflectors. The door latch has to go in first on the 47-51 trucks. This is because the door handle shaft has to go into the latch assembly. On the 52-55 1st series trucks, the door handles can go whenever. I always like to install the latch first on all of them.

There is a little adjustment there, but not much. Should be enough to get the glass up and down without pinching.
what a great idea, thanks man
You bet!
Do you have a cut away of the 47-51 door?
Not yet, but I have a door for this purpose and hope to making a similar video for the 1947-50 door assembly procedure in the near future.
How do you remove that outer window trim
Basically you have to remove the retaining screws and disconnect the two sides at the upper joint. Once you have them separated, you need to pinch the two sides inward. This will feel like you are going to crimp the lower corners, but if you are careful and only pinch the sides of the trim inward enough to release the lower part of the trim from the pinch-weld, you should be able to lift the trim out of the opening. There are two or three tabs at the bottom of this trim that you have to make sure are not keeping you from removing the trim.
