Flush mounted windsheild and glass?

I've been looking for pics of 55-59 trucks with flush mounted front & rear glass like newer vehicles have. I know there will be a lot of cutting and welding involved. I'd like to flush mount my big back window. Any pics or links would be highly appreciated.

Re: Flush mounted windsheild and glass?

The first step is to see if the glass will set in the opening with enough glass covering the pinch weld so that you can use the urethane tape strip or other sealer to stick it to the truck. Then most guy who have done it use the S-10 windshield molding that may come in bulk to go around the glass. I think bulk molding similar to this is what most guys are using but the glass shops may have it in stock. http://www.crlaurence.com/crlapps/sh...&ModelID=21031
