Hi,
This forum has been helpful to me over the years that I have been restoring my 1950 3100 and I thought I would try to return the favor with this post.

Last weekend 2 experienced auto restorers and myself converted my 1950 3 window to a 5 window deluxe cab using parts (inner and outer window panels) from Dynacorn. I know that not everyone's experience will be the same but this project went well and the fit of the parts were almost perfect.

Considering the fact that none of us knew much about the cab construction we went at it very slow and probably spent 5+ hours just discussing our next steps as we progressed through the project. Because we were repairing other rust on the truck while doing the conversion it is hard for me to give an exact estimate of the time it took to cut out the old and weld in the new windows but I would guess including our discussion time we spent about 30 hours on the conversion.

I went this route because I could not find a 5 window that was in reasonable shape and decided it was cheaper to convert my 3 window and repair the rust than it was to buy a 5 window and repair the rust.

In any case, I just wanted to share with others in a similar situation that this conversion is possible and that the results can execeed your expectations.
