small window to big window?

[protrash64]

I completed this conversion on my truk a few years ago. My cab had taken a good hit behind the passenger seat and I was attempting to repair the damage.......I am NOT a body guy by any means; Im also not afraid of gettin midevil with it if I have to; know what Im saying!? Anyway.....I realized it would be easier to pull the dent if the panels were not attached at the window; I had also read the article about converting to a big window. Pull out a fresh sawzall blade and cut around the shape on the back of the cab, leaving yourself AT LEAST 1/2"....read that twice if necessary.........I left more!!!!The panels will seperate naturally.........leave material on the insideof the cab long........make 45 degree cuts (roughly)int he corners on the inside of the cab........drill holes for spot welds on the out side panel and then pinch it together with vice grips/clamps, etc. weld the two together creating your new lip for your window gasget..........go inside and patch your corners with sheet metal......I would love to post pics but I am unable. I thought this was easy to do and I love the big window....it also saved me a lot of body work..........start slow and you will figure it out as you go......Jeff
