- This can be a tough job if you've never done it, so here's a walk-through.
Two things to keep in mind:
1. Be patient and take your time
2. NEVER use silicone
The D-series of trucks of the late 1930s and the larger K & KB series of trucks (K/KB-6 and up) use the same windshield, the smaller K & KB trucks (1-5) use a similar but slightly different windshield - EXCEPT for the K/KB 1-5 panel trucks which used the windshield shared by the larger trucks. You can tell the two windshields apart by the subtle difference in shape. The small K/KB frame has a straight frame, while the horizontal bars on the larger K/KB, D, panel windshield have a slight curve to them.
Regardless- this procedure is exactly the same for all these trucks.
Materials
The glass is from Bob's Classic Auto Glass. This was my first time dealing with them and they were great to work with, friendly and they shipped FAST! All my future glass orders will be with them.

The exterior rubber gasket is from Restoration Specialties. I've dealt with them several times and they are always extremely helpful and easy to work with.

The 3M Linerless Splicing Tape is available from multiple vendors online
Any liquid dish detergent will work.
Bolts:
(8) 8-32 x 3/8" slotted oval head
(2) 10-32 x 3/8" slotted oval head
(phillips head were not originally used, but are easier to work with)
This was not an easy process to film alone and so some steps aren't as clear as I hoped they would be. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments. The same goes for any tips or tricks!
Keep 'em rolling

Thank you . Great presentation. Couldn’t find any instructional videos on this truck’s windshield until now. 👍
Excellent video! Thank you.
My high school shop teacher always said,” The most dangerous tool in the shop is a dull one “ 😮
I just found you because im doing glass work on my kb truck im building and saw you live in my area. Im up in round rock. Thanks for the awesome content it really helps.
Makes my day knowing it helps!
Love the vid. Cool to see more IHs out there
Thanks, good info
that was super helpful - thanks for taking the time to do the video - I know that recording the whole thing makes it a lot more time consuming. Your comments and instruction were super clear. Thanks for the resources too! I am having a super hard time finding parts for a '47 KB1. The resources listed are invaluable.
Hey! Thank you! Good luck with the truck, if you get stuck on anything, feel free to reach out.
@@BareKnuckleBinder THANKS!
Great info!! Looking forward to meeting you back in Austin sometime!
Same! Bummed I'm gonna miss out on the motor swap next weekend.
New subscriber, recommended by Isaac over at IC Weld. Definitely glad I checked it out, binge watching your videos now. 👊
Awesome! Glad to have you along!
That is great! Make more videos!
Thanks, Jacob!
I am wondering if you have any information about installation of the glass in the drivers door mirror on a 1940 D2 pickup. I have the original mirror but no rubber seal or other indication of how it is held into the round frame. I am working on assembly of my project truck and would appreciate any help you could give.
How did you do the corners for the frame to cab seal
Great video. This job is in my near future. What width is the splicing tape?
Hey Steve, the tape I used is 1-1/2" wide and .030" thick. The model number is 130C. Good luck!
My 48 International KB1 windshield frame is in bad shape. Anyone know where I can source a good one or anyone that can build a new one? Mine is pretty rusted out and my metal skills are not good enough to make a new one myself.
Where did you get the outside rubber to seal the windshield frame to the cab? I have a 48 kb7 I'm starting to play with. I got the glass but I'm not having luck with the rubbers.
Check out a place called Restoration Specialties in Pennsylvania. They got all the rubber pieces.
Hi can anybody help my window frame for a 1939 is really not good looking to buy one thank you my truck is d15 1939
What’s the part number and where did you get your windshield seal I’m having trouble finding one?
Like mine, it looks like the window slides into the slots a little loose. Should it be that way, and if it is, do you have any trouble with noise or whistling? My door windows fit into their channels a lot more snug so am just wondering if I need to add another layer of tape to one side of the front windshield to make it a little more snug?
The glass should be snug in the window frame. The panes of glass on this windshield slid through the steel frame channels easily, but snugged up when I seated them with a mallet -and even more when the bottom of the frame was installed. I’d say if you can fit more tape in, the better. When your windshield is completely assembled the glass should not rattle or feel loose in any way.
Do you have a video on how to separate the rusted frame?
No, but it’s a lot of soaking in penetrating oil and light taps with a dead blow hammer.
@@BareKnuckleBinder thanks. I will try to video the separation.
Eric, would you rebuild a 48 frame for a fee? Install glass, etc.
Yes, where are you located?
@@BareKnuckleBinder About to send you an email.
@@BareKnuckleBinder Sent email to address on youtube channel
@@BareKnuckleBinder same question! I am in southeast Virginia, I am a disabled vet with hand injuries and can't do it myself and no one around here seems able to deal with this. I have the frame and the glass but the shop can't get the old glass out and it has stopped the project. How can I contact you?
I would use a wood instead of a socket, or plastic pipe.
Please remember me at 10 subscribers. what is your biggest passion? See ya Bud :D
