The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 1940 Windshield Question

I've got an old 40 Chev pickup that I’m working on with my daughter. We removed the windshield and surprise, the bottom of the frame has some rot.

Question: What other year trucks have the same windshield as a 40?

I'm a fairly good journeyman welder and was thinking of finding a second windshield in a similar state of rust and grafting in some of the donor frame's upper frame into my frames lower section to replaced the rotted out portion. I think the shape of the top is slightly different then the bottom, but I think I could still make it work.

Any thoughts?
