I like em, I guess they were as easy to install as everyone said, that didn't take long at all:chevy:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

In a honesty it took longer to open the package and read the instructions than it took to install them. :smoke:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Kool, I'll wait and see how you like them before I order some, I swear that I've seen them on the parts board for more money though:confused:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

You got that right. Seen them sell for almost double what I paid Summit ;)

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I just wonder how they do when reversing 45 degrees out of a spot then stopping with the window down suddenly realizing it had rained that afternoon and all the water was on the cabs drip rail and wham you have a tropical waterfall for a driver side window. but hey that's us none vent shade boys problems :lol:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Hey Shawn. I was thinking about picking up a set of these a while back when I saw that they are still in production but the online instructions showed them as being screw-ons instead of using the clips. Could you confirm how they attach?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I wonedered that as well but the online instructions are like an updated or partial version. These are attached by clips that go up into the window chanel and can be removed easily. There is no drilling or damage to the vehicle what so ever. I have enough holes in my doors so I definately would not be adding any more :lol:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Cool thanks for the info. Yeah, I saw the instructions on the manufacturers site and the drawing looked like the shade had a tab at each end with screw holes. I was like, nah, I don't want to go drilling holes just to install these. :)

BTW: Are they green on the underside like the old ones or polished or what?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Have you always had buddies in your truck ?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

No these are painted flat black on the underside. No holes, no mess. They are quick and easy, I would say go for it.

No originally it had a ratty bench seat but I got the buddies about a month after I got the truck so they have in there almost the whole time. :metal:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Sweet thanks!

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Hey Shawn was down in your neck of the woods today saw your truck in front of your work place looking good.

The ventshades look great. I've looked at them many a time but wasn't sure if they might be too much, but they pop!

You're stylin' now :cool:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

It's funny right after I put them on I wasn't sure I liked them. Then I drove the truck home and it was just enough to block the sun and I was like bam these are great :metal: They are almost unoticable but once you do its like hey those are cool.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Look what I got to work on today and then take for a long test drive :burnout: Dale I thought of you when I took these pics. ;)

Cool project Shawno. I just got through the whole build. Amazing how much you have improved this truck in such a short period of time. Really cool that you get to drive all the time too.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I would have to call Shawn a lucky Ba$tard!..................I cant wait to drive my junk.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Thanks guys. It has been diligence and being in the right place at the right time or the truth be told I have been blessed with good fortune :D These trucks are a passion for me and its always fun. Not always easy but always fun :)

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I wonder if it is as easy to install as the vent shades:lol::lol:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Well.......I did the rear window but I am not even going to attempt the front. I'll leave that to the professionals. :metal:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

the professionals so it with "precision" HAHA

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I've tried a couple of fronts... broke both of em:dohh: guess I'm not a professional:lol:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
