It was February 6, 2000 when I started the thought process of this and ran into every snag I have seen listed here: It will be 6 years since we spoke about this Ken. I should have gotten off my butt...
Here is some of my progress:

I have the "window" rolling up and down, but didn't have anyone that could make the glass or wanted to make it. This year I found a company who would make the glass, but it wasn't cheap, but fairly resonable if I ordered about 20 sets. (I didn't have the cash) Then there is the issue of the gaskets. I had talked to a couple of companies about it, but again, still not cheap and they needed a working piece to get it going. On top of the fact that alot of people don't want to hack their truck, I was trying to make it so you could actually go back to what was there before if you wanted and be able to use non-custom parts to do it. I still haven't given up the idea of producing it, just haven't quite gotten there.

I wouldn't expect a high amount of savings over this price. If I can get mine working I would have to price it at $650 to actually make some money back. Their pricing is very decent. I am waiting to see their pictures and talk to the ones making the kit.
