74 CJ5 windshield frame

[Nblewett63]

Just got my first jeep and it's a bit of a project. I'm currently working on gathering parts as will be away from home for a few weeks and what to have everything I need to get it on the road to the mountains, I don't want to have to trailer it and would like to have a windshield.

Here is my problem. I ordered a replacement from Morris 4x4 and when it showed up it was not the correct size. Come to find out that it was the right size for a 74 CJ5 , if I has the stock windshield frame. So I have to send it back, I gave then the measurements of the plexiglass windshield that was put in by the PO and they couldn't tell me what it came from.

Can anyone tell me what year / model jeep had a 55 and 5/8 by 13 inch tall windshield glass. That is what the plexiglass windshield was.

I can't tell if there where bottom or top mount wipers and can't seem to find glass dimensions for anything 13 inches tall all the way across.

Thanks in advance

I have the glass removed from our 59 CJ5 frame and it measures exactly 55 5/8 x 13. I'm sure other years use this windshield, but at least you know that it will fit a 59. I don't think that the PO changed windshields on our Jeep since it was totally rusted out and the base color that I ground down to matched the cowl base color that I ground down to.
