  • Windshield

    I am in need of a windshield for my T-cab. Does anyone have one or know where I could get one without costing too much money?

    just in case you weren't aware, but I'm sure you probably guessed, a 59-60 Lark uses the exact same windshield.

      Those seem to be hard windshields to come by without some wiper marks on them

        Get a tube of old fashioned tooth paste and your buffer...
        You can get all those old wiper marks out pretty easy...
        Price is right, as long as the wife doesn't know...

          I don't have a catalog handy, but i do know that Studebaker International had some windshields reproduced that were previously unavailable, including the 61-62 Lark. Not sure if T-cab is available or not but it might be worth a call to them. There's another vendor that does only glass that shows up at York and Reedsville... Phillips I think? hopefully someone will know. Of course if you are really frugal just keep asking and eventually someone will be parting out a Lark or T-cab with good glass.

          good luck,

                The 55's with the Ultra Vista (late model) windsheild will work as well. From there to 62, it's pretty much the same. Right Mr. Biggs?

                  Nope, '61-62 are different from earlier. They look practically the same but they do not interchange. The whole cowl was changed in '61 and again in '63. (but the front fenders and hood remained the same 61-63. So you could actually put a '64 front end on a '61 or '62 Lark if you so desired. How 'bout that?) Now I can't tell you whether '55-58 sedans will interchange or not, I'll have to defer to an expert on that one.

                    You know now that I think about it I remember seeing a pic of a T-cab truck with a '55 sedan front clip on it somewhere. So you may be right, the windshield from one of those might be the same...

                          I purchased a windshield from him for my C cab, was tickled with price, product, and service.

                              Also check with your local windshield/ glass installers. They may have a source or even one in stock.
