Ratical.I remember the top-off mini-truck era.Do you remember the "Flex-Thru" rear windows?You had the good looks of a smooth back glass.But,it flexed open at both ends.
Doing one of these would not be what I consider easy.But,way cool fer shur.

Re: Anybody thought about doing this?
I've seen that truck in person and it looks like it will leak to me. It needs a bit more design work IMO.

Looks like a lot of fabrication. Anything is possible given the right motivation and $$.
I have a 77 Suburban that I am parting out and had thoughts of keeping the back tailgate since it has the outside window crank. Should handle the weight.
