First, thanks for having me. My name is Clint and I'm about to take delivery on what might be my last project. A 1969 Torino GT. I'm 72 and after many restorations I just don't have a lot of giddy up left and I want this one to be special. I'm sure I will be asking questions but in the late 60's and throughout the 70's I was a huge big Ford guy having owned several Galaxies, Fairlaines, Cougars, and Mustangs. I guess my first question would be what other models share the same door glass? I will spend time exploring the site so I don't ask any repetitive questions. I just thought of this one first. Thanks ahead of time.
Clint

Welcome Clint! My first guess is that 68-69 Fairlane, Comet and Cyclone should all have the same door glass; but someone can fact check me on that one. Be sure to start a thread in the Project Forum, looking forward to seeing the progress on your build Big smile

I'm pretty sure the 68 and 69 Torino/Fairlane used different glass.  The 68 has a chrome trim surround on the glass while the 69 does not.  Not sure if they are interchangeable.
