first of all....welcome. Secondly, although I've bought a lot of stuff from Brother's they're not the only ones with that glass. I got mine from Vintage Glass ( vintageglass@hotmail.com 770-962-3068 ask for L.C. ) The whole kit for both doors was around $535. that got me smoked gray glass, felts, channels, power regulators, and wiring. Nice kit too. No fillers needed for the doors. It makes for a nice clean installation.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention, I put them in a '59. I just got a digital camera for Christmas and Intend to try and post some progress pics soon.

We sell and install the Brothers kits and have been very happy with the kits for 55-59 and 67-72 trucks and suburbans. They come in clear or tinted under 350.00 including shipping.

I'm trying to picture how this would work on a '59 and my doors are at my buddy's body shop right now, so I can't look at them, but my recolection is that the front of the vent glass gets wider at the top, so how does a one piece window work?

how's this look?

Bruce B · 12-31-2003, 12:08 PM
