I suspect you are looking for this because the channel that the glass fits in is rusted out.  Very common and most parts will have the same problem.  These are relatively easy to fix.  New channel is available from RS&S.  Drill out the spot welds of all the brackets on the original channel and tack weld these on to the new channel.  Make sure you maintain all of the relative angles of the parts.  The up stops can be duplicated by using 3/16 inch square stock brazed (or tacked) to the glass channel.  New plastic type rollers are available from 55-57 Chev parts supplies and probably others.

When I had my '60 coupe several years ago I replaced those glass channels too because they were badly rusted.  I went to a local auto glass shop and he had the channels in lengths. "How much do you need", he said.  I got a long piece and cut it to the lengths needed when I got home.  Once everything was put back together, and before putting in the glass, I painted them so they wouldn't rust again.
