The Ford Barn

I am going to replace the side windows in my 31 AA as the passenger side is cracked and I don't believe it is safety glass. Researching windows they seem to be tinted green or gray, or bronze.

Anyone replaced their windows? Are the colors that pronounced? What color did you go with and are you happy with it? Being my truck is dark green and black I was thinking of getting green.

Should I replaced all of the glass or would doing the door glass be fine? Added pics for reference. I won't get the truck until next month.

Thanks

Tinted windows?

Model A Fords never came from the factory with tinted window glass. Safety laminated glass will turn color with age and that is most likely what you are looking at if it is old glass. Put in the correct clear glass unless you want to hide behind your tinted windows.

I had my rear window tinted in order to cut down on the glare reflected on the windshield as well as reducing the glare from headlights from cars behind me.

By all means replace all if you are not sure.
