One-piece door glass conversion in '53 Chevy truck
 
Hello to all,

I would like to reciprocate the help you are giving me hope that this work may be useful to some of you.

On my '53 truck I had the vent glass but I wanted to install the big glass door on.
For you everything is easier, it is sufficient to take 2 doors of a '50 truck
but if you want to keep your original doors can make this change.


Parts needed
