Re: 1958 GMC Fleetside C4
Great build !

Here's what I did on my '56.
I added '57 car rubber tips to protect the fragile bullets .
I don't know if the recess is deep enough on the '57 bullets to allow the rubber to set deep enough to seal the edges.

Re: 1958 GMC Fleetside C4
Surprised you could not sell the Vette back window, look like an expensive piece for someone to replace.
