Hey 68, I'll fess up! I put one in a '67 that I had about 15 or more years ago. Sunroof kits had just come out, and they were a hot item at that time. It was OK, but I did ruin a perfectly good cab, and it was hotter in the summer. Since then, I've had 3 trucks with a sliding rear window, and I like the window a lot better than the sunroof.

I put one in, wasnt too hard to do. As for ruining a cab that is really up in the air I would say. I mean my truck will sell for just as much if not more with the sunroof as it would without it. Fact is only if the truck is going back to stock orginal would the value of it be down because of the sunroof.
