WTB 59' Miller-Meteor Parts

[thor87]

I am looking to buy a Rear Drivers Side Window Frame and Upper Door Section for my 59' Cadillac Miller Meteor Futura Combo End-loader. I can post a picture of what I need for reference if needed.

Any information or leads are always appreciated.

Thank you,
Thor

Do your door frames go above the drip rail into the roof or stop at the drip rail? The latter is much easier to find.

The door frames go above the drip rail into the roof. Of course I had to have the more difficult of the two to find.

Good news: The same Miller Meteor upper door frames are interchangeable from '59-'62.

Bad news: Too save on fabrication costs, Miller Meteor cut back drastically on doors that went into the roof (unless serving a specific purpose) starting in '60.

The couple parts coaches I know of do not have the upper frame you need. I do know where a '63 rests but do not know how it would have to be modified to fit yours.

That is good news. Thank you at least now I know that I can widen my search parameters. I would rather get a part that interchanges properly, instead of taking a part that someone else might need in the future. I know the parts for these old coaches are getting pretty slim.

One more thing I should have mentioned~

'59-'62 are interchangeable from like models, meaning an upper door frame that goes into the roof on a lowtop will not have the same roof angle above the driprail as a hightop.

Alright so I'll eliminate the hightop doors from my search. Thanks for the info Atti.
