TT Closed Cab Windshield Frame

[DesDelivery]

My 1926 TT does not have a windshield frame. From what I've seen, it is a two(2) piece unit. The opening has a 39" width and a 21" height rectangular shape. The frame pieces are not round but I'm guessing a 1 1/4" height and a 3/4" width rectangular shape. The swing arms appear to be curved. Was this windshield possibly used in a coupe or other earlier T? Does anyone have a decent one they'd sell to me?

With 3,197 views, I would have thought someone has seen or know of a cab sitting around! Let me know of any parts truck or what ever. Thanks, DeVon.

One problem with availability is that their were so many outside companies that manufactured cabs for model TTs that it muddies the waters for reproduction stuff. There were C-cab types too. This is a link to the Lang's model T windshield parts available.

I've seen decent frames on flea-pay but they are generally priced higher than some may want to pay. Most of the upper glass adjustment arms I've seen are straight but I'm not so sure about the 1925 through 27 cabs. Here is one on a temporary link.

Thank you rotorwrench for your response. Yes, there were many wooden cabs being built by outside manufacturers. Mine is the Ford-built steel cab. I recently sold a C-cab TT but that frame wasn't anything like what I need as are the ones from Lang's. I've seen the one on ebay and yes it is very pricey. I've had people want to sell me a frame from a wooden-cab, but they are unwilling(or unable) to give me pics and dimensions of what they have(or don't have). A supposed business(Montrose?, if I remember correctly) was unwilling to take pics of the frame from a steel cab unless I paid for it first! Is anybody familiar with them(or close to them) to verify what they have?

I have purchased different upper and lower frames and will modify them to get them to work.

I don't have one, but wondering if this is the style you need?
Just noticed this thread has had almost 24,000 views! You'd think that
someone must have one!

Yes, that is what I was looking for. When I would see a cab that had the windshield frame, the owner would not part with it regardless of how picked apart the cab already was. I ended up buying an upper frame from a 1923-25 Coupe which is narrower than what I needed and a lower frame from a different T(which I don't know, but it did have some pull knobs on the bottom that I removed). I will add some bar stock to each side or the upper frame to make the rails the same width as the lower rails. While I'm at it, I think I'll make the upper frame taller and the lower frame shorter so I can run an electric windshield wiper. All I had to begin with was a partial rough cab and a rolling chassis...so total originality isn't what I'm trying for.
