I have a couple of questions regarding short 39 doors and figured this was the best place to ask.

What years would the large window with the cast window frame be correct for? Were these produced in both hinged and lift off and what was the purpose/need for that many different door variations?

Thanks for any information that can be provided.

In my experience, these doors were on the tall T39's and when the cut them down, after the War, became short doors without ad glass. I am building one at this time, with cut down doors. I can't recall ever seeing these as original short doors? They always were hinged. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

No idea? A guy brought it up from North Carolina two weeks ago. Wanted to sell it, I bought it and put in into the rotation with ten more. Paul www.severngaspumps.com
