I don´t have the facility to buy them in a local store, I have to make then with tempered glass.
please, anybody can help me?

If no one else gives the dimensions I can get them...... If necessary I could draw a pattern for you if needed.
EDIT: I should have mentioned that the glass is out of my 52 Panel which is the same as your truck.

16 3/8" High and 18 1/4" Wide.
I'm sure you know on top corner is rounded pretty good and the other top corner is rounded a little bit.
Hope this helps you. If need I could gets some copy paper and draw trace it off. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Obviously the glass is not totally square,so IMO it would be much better as Alvin said, to trace a pattern and use that instead. I did this and had mine made up in 5mm Tempered green tinted glass. I realise your glass is the smaller one,without the frame. Shouldn't cost a bunch either!

I did a little haggling and got the tinted side windows/wing vents for 100 bucks..... Just in case anyone was wondering!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Alvin...Was that for tempered? If so,for having them cut and toughened(as we call it here)$100 is not too bad. It's not what you know ,it's who you know! I managed to get all the glass,including having the side and rear glass cut and tempered for less than $150. That included a half sheet of 6.4mm Laminated green tinted glass for cutting my front windshields.(I'd just better not screw up!)

Its who you know.(saved me $50 bucks and they still made money!) I had such a good deal going I wanted to get the glass for the front but I had purchased the windshield from a fellow who gave up on his project. cost me $40 (both pieces) The glass is still in the box and had never been taken out. I may offer them up for sale so I can get some tinted ones?
