I have some questions and need some education

I recently bought a 1980 Std Cab Short Box (no box) as well as a cab from a 86. The 80 cab is in not the greatest shape so I will probably use the 86 because it has the high end interior trim package so it has a full headliner, apillar, bpillar and all the headliner trim in it.

I am going to redo the truck in a early 73/74 style with the full wrap around mouldings, two tone it red and white etc.

My questions are as follows

1. Is there a company that makes a one piece door glass kit?
2. Is there a company that sells smoothed out chrome bumpers? Preferably with the inset fog light openings?
3. Where can I find templates or measurements to drill the body for all the molding clips?
4. Other then the marker lights, is there any difference between fenders and hood from the 86 that I have and a early 70's model? Any other major body differences?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

This is the look I want with the trim package except in red with a white roof and white center but smooth chrome bumpers and a billet grille.

Beautiful truck.....

Re: I have some questions and need some education

body lines on the fenders are totally different om the earlier, if you got a couple repop fenders it would make mounting the molding easier.

look through brothers, or lmc for the rest of the stuff you need.. I don't think they have a super smooth bumper though.

btb, I heard you hired a new guy.. brian.. work him HARD!
