I was reading on the Jim Carter Web Site that 39 and 40 just had the glass and in 41 GM went to the metal frame around the glass. My 39 GMC has the metal frames. I thought they all had the frames. Now im confussed.

I had both a '39 and a '40 GMC with metal frames, and keylocks in the passenger door handle, so it's a safe bet they were original doors.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

i haven't got to the point of taking my doors apart for weather strip and rattle stuff. 1939 chevy 3/4 T. at least the top edge of the door window glass does not have a metal edge. when i get home i will look closer at the glass. or maybe i don't under stand the question?
