Restoring Vent windows

[blue 72 gmc 4x4]

This is NOT a for sale thread. I have decided to start rebuilding vent windows so this is the first two sets. I just wanted to post a thread on the complete rebuild process so you guys could see what I can do. These will be in the FOR SALE section as soon as I am done with them (which I am shooting for the end of this week.) so please don't turn this into a wanted/for sale thread.

On to the windows. I started with two fairly rough worn out sets and sandblasted and powder coated everything. I did the parts that are seen in a 60% gloss black and the parts that are not seen in a satin silver to mimic the original plating and provide corrosion protection. I am lucky enough to work at a powder coating shop where the owner and I are both 67-72 enthusiasts so everything we do is top quality. When re-riveting the windows I use all the factory style rivets, I do not use pop rivets. As for the rubber and any other parts I use Classic Parts of America.

Currently I am working on a set for 68-72 and a set that are out of a 77' GMC. I am not familiar with any differences in windows from the 73-87 years however I am sure I will be soon. Again I hope to have these two sets done by the end of next week, just waiting on some more parts.
