Need a windshield for a 1955 Ford F-100 but need a MODEL number the truck was in that year-- the glass shop books shows two model numbers as below-- I know they are the same 1953-55 and had---NO chrome molding

Model 81--closed cab -- ( which means what ) ? ? cab over ? ?

Model 82-- panel delivery------

trying to find out which model # above to order, those are the numbers in the glass shop parts books from their supplier to order ----Thanks

as far as I know there is only one windshield for the 53 thru 55 with 2 differences, the only differences is whether you have a plain windshield rubber or one with the slot for the chrome molding and the other differences is if you want a clear or tinted windshield
 
I have a 55 F-100; what source is asking for a model number? The only models that I am aware of are the "Standard" & "Custom Cab" but like West Coast already mentioned there is only 1 windshield for the 53 thru 55s. There was no stainless molding option for this year group of trucks. They did however offer the stainless trim for the 56s and for the 51 & 52 as part of the "5 Star" option package.
 
Just a thought,, does the panel truck have a different roof line, and taller glass?
Closed cab would be anything else,,,,
 
I would go with the 82 Panel Delivery glass.
From the Ford Pickup Redbook:
80- Platform
81- Chassis Cab
82A- Panel Delivery
82B- Custom Panel Delivery
83- Pickup
84- Chassis Cowl
86- Stake Bed
