32fire2, I'm doing the doors on my 52 right now. There is two screws on the door handles & window cranks. One's a cap screw and there is another one under that. There is a nut on the front glass channel at the bottom, you can get to it from the access panel. There is alot of hiden screws so take your time and don't force things.

The handles must come off, then the cardboard panel behind it. From there, you can take all the screws off from around the metal "trim" piece and remove it. Then, take all the screws off from around the vent frame. After you remove the steel access panel from the lower portion of the door, you can use a 1/2 (I think) socket with and extension to remove the bolt holding the bottom of the vent frame (feel around for it, you'll find it). Pull the vent frame and vent window out together. Unscrew the actual window crank mechanism from the door and remove. The window will then fall to halfway down the door and hit a rubber 'undecayed' bumpstop. Lift out the glass.
No problem

on my 53 pickup there are sponge spacers that hold the cardboard away from the remote pull rod.See "side door instruction index Sect 1 sheet 1.05" of the 1947-1954 truck Factory Assembly manual
