Wow now that is mint condition. I’d feel bad even keeping the truck outside with that condition of parts lol. Should freshen up the truck a lot though, always satisfying to keep adding pieces.

Glad to see this old thread is still showing somewhat resourceful, really need to give the ol’ deuce some more attention. New humvee has been in the restoration spotlight as of late :P If you need any parts, my first recommendation is big mikes motorpool, he’s helped me with several things and...

Thank you 3rdmdqm. A friend of a friend was able to cut the glass for me. At first, he said it would cost ~ $50 per pane, after he saw what it was for he wanted to contribute to my restoration effort and just gave me the glass haha. It's fairly common glass and should be available at a standard...

Finally you can install the windshield, the screws used to install the windshield to the top part of the window frame are 10-32. Let me know if you have any questions or would like more pictures! Anyone with more glass experience is welcome to chime in, this was my first time doing such a...

After waiting a few days for the urethane to cure, you'll have to install the outer seal for the window. These can be ordered from most of the surplus dealers, I ordered mine from Big Mike. These can be a bit of a bear to install and seat into the outer edge. It may sound stupid but I found...

This is the difficult part. Grab an assistant and begin to seal all 8 outer edges with the urethane sealant/adhesive. Do not worry if your glass wiggles a bit in the frame, the urethane will completely solve that. This stuff is super thick and difficult to squeeze from a caulk gun. I attached...

Next I slid the glass into the bottom part of the frame, with the rubber strips on the bottom and sides, it lined up well with very little wiggle room. After sliding the glass into the frame, very very carefully add the cross piece to the top of the frame. If it doesn't want to go on nicely...

Time to set the glass into the bottom portion of the frame. I put a bit of the urethane on the parts where the rubber didn't cover. For the top cross piece, put a couple beads of urethane into the channel first, then lay the rubber strips. Before even making anything final on the top...

I then began to cut thin rubber strips to seat into the channel of the frame. This is in order for the glass not to contact the metal frame, otherwise it can crack if the truck hits a bump. It also helps raise the glass a bit to close up some clearances. The glass is slightly smaller than the...

Test fitting the glass without any sealant yet. I wanted to make sure it fit nicely before making anything permanent. The top cross piece gets mounted with the flanged side opposite of the handle on the window. The flanged side serves as the hinge for the window to go up and down on the truck...

I then ordered the bottom U-shaped frame and top cross piece with L brackets. The parts only seemed to have a light coat of paint on them, I didn't want the parts to rust over the winter so I sprayed them with 2 coats of paint+primer rust-oleum. I will be painting the truck once summer rolls...

First thing you'll need is the glass, if your glass is still good, you can skip this step. I found the following image on a post a while back and gave the dimensions to my glass guy, thank you to whoever was able to provide it initially:

In order to construct a windshield from scratch, you'll need a few parts. I constructed my driver's side windshield from scratch because it was beyond what I considered repairable, too much rust, frame damage, cracked glass. 1: U shaped lower frame (I ordered from Big Mike) 2: Top cross piece...

Hi All, I recently reconstructed the driver's side windshield on my deuce. I wasn't able to find too many details pertaining to how the window comes together and such, so I thought I'd post my experiences as a resource to anyone in the future. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but...
