Re: best one piece glass

The Brothers setup has a triangular piece of metal towards the front. There is some body who makes a true one piece set up, but I forget who it is. Google might help here.

Re: best one piece glass

one piece products makes the window kit with no triangle.. and that kit is $500 i believe..

brothers is about $100 cheaper but you have a triangle in the corner of your door..

weigh your options and pick which one you like best

No intention to hijack this...

Why would you want to do that? IMO it would ruin the look. I'm trying to picture it, but all I can see in my head is a truck that looks like it was JC Whitney-ized.

Re: best one piece glass

Early Classic carries the one piece setup. There is also company that sells a one piece kit with the mirror in the front of the window, does anyone know who that may be?

A lot of us with custom or somewhat custom trucks tend to prefer the look of trucks without the vent windows. I'm still up in the air on it as I don't have air conditioning, I usually run the truck with the wings turned to catch the most air all summer an I could probably spend the money to do a different upgrade on the truck.

If my 71 was a lowered 71 Shortie instead of a stock height 71 3/4 ton longbed it would have the wingless windows in it for sure.

Actually it looks very nice IMO, but like most modifications it's not for everyone.
I am still on the fence about it for my truck but the more I drive it without any side windows the more I like the one piece idea.
I tried to find some "good" pictures for an example but I couldn't.

To answer the original question, if I were to buy some I would get the one piece products kit, they are more expensive but I like the look better than the others with a triangle in the corner. IMO
