Since this is an all panel/burb forum I thought I would try again here  . My window glass tracks are not too great  . The ones for the 2 side windows on each side, not the door ones. Would love to replace a couple of them and NEED to replace 1. Are there any other more readily availably tracks that would work or that I could weld 2 pieces together or something. I guess that's it for now. Will post picts as I get farther along. thanks jim | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | I can't speak to the specifics of your '46, but it would seem that the tracks should be a reasonably available piece from a modern supplier. The track merely has to be of the correct width, and can be shortened for your application. You might check with a local windshield place and get their take on it. You may be able to bend your own tracks with a brake and some proper guage material. Take a piece of your damaged track to a machinist/metal shop and see what they think. It's straight and narrow and has an extra flange. How hard can it be? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | Have you contacted BradB #4957, he seems to be very knowledgeble of your vintage Suburban. Check out his web page: 1941-46 Chevrolet trucks He is in the gallery too. ......g | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 210 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 210 | Duh! Why didn't I think of checking with a glass place. Sometimes we get so involved in NEVER being to find that certain part we overlook the obvious. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
Yeh checked with Brad and he thought he had one but haven't heard from him lately
Thanks

WHAT NOW ! I'm really stuck. The garage showed me some rear window channel from a modern vehicle but it was VERY expensive and still a ton of work HELP!! Ok I've done enough crying. thanks Jim | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 476 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 476 | Oh no....
You mean there's another BradB on here? Should I change my handle or just blame everything I ever said wrong on him? He's even got a number close to mine...

I guess I'm confused. :confused: But I know I did email to the Brad I wanted to 'cause I did it from his website. Sorry if there are 2 of you! This is his website. http://www.brads41-46chevys.com Is also in the stovebolt links. Jim | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 476 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 476 | Yeah, I checked out his website too. I just put that post in to make it clear that I am not the guy you need. When GMONIZ said, "very knowledgeable" I knew he wasn't talking about me.
