Anyway, yes there are vendors who offer one piece window kits. Classic Truck Glass, Ecklers, www.onepieceproducts, and here is an interesting discussion http://forums.classictrucks.com/70/...53-chevy-pu-window-conversion/index.html

Truck is out of paint and now is running (not drivable yet)The wing vents are toast since I had to have the body media blasted. New wing vent assemblies are available for LMC for $290 each, !!OUCH!! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Take your old vent assemblies out and get them powdercoated and use glass of your choice.(clear or tinted) Sure saved me a lot of money and I had to pull them out anyway. | | |
