My brother is working on 1957 truck and it came with new doors. The ones without the vent wing, just one piece of glass. Anyone have any experience with these. Can't seem to find much as far as window run channel or felt. Any other things he should know about. Thanks.
There is info on the web for one piece windows. Several of the Classic Truck type mags have featured that mod. Kits are available. The orig roll up has a frame around it and the one piece does not, seems like the run channel will have to be narrower on the "ID" than standard run channel? Kits supposedly do not have run channel on front side of window. Weird. This is a 55-59, Several very good videos (5) by the same guy showing how to save some money. Orig glass is 1/4 and aftermarket is 6mm, a small difference. A possible source for DIY one piece glass run channel is Danno Enterprises. http://www.dannoenterprises.com/bulkchnl.htm
