Arrow windows???

im looking to convert to a one piece window on both driver and passenger side of my truck. I want to get rid of the window vents, i have a 1970 c10 stepside, and was wondering if anyone has done this before and how hard of a job it is to do???

Re: windows???

Do a search but unless they have improved neither kit is a direct bolt in.... I installed the opp kit and we had a hard time getting them to work to what I would call functional

Re: windows???

Never done one myself, but from reading all the threads on them none seem to be perfect.

Captkaos sells them in the Vendors Marketplace:

The thread has links to the installation instructions for this kit too.

Re: windows???

everything......probelms with the scrapers, door felt, glass rubber that holds glass in. had to use urethane too hold window in . the trim piece , everything has to be redone just have not tackled it yet, i think the reason the pass. side has not done it yet is because it does not get used as much
