Federal Truck Tries Again

I'm looking for parts for a 1943 ton and a half Federal truck. In
particular I'm trying to find replacement windshields; it has two- piece
or split windshields that can be opened and locked at various
positions. The current frames are rusted through and the metal and
rubber mouldings are shot. One antique car rebuilder says it is very
similar to a 1935 Dodge––but that's a one-piece windshield. But the
lower outside corners have the same curvature as a 1935 Dodge.
Also, any original manuals covering this truck? I've got
manuals (but not original; by White Engine Co.) on the engine, a JXD
Hercules gasoline model.
