What do you guys think? One piece windows?

Wondered if anyone has put in one piece front windows and if you like them or not? Do they leak? I'm thinkin about the ones from Brothers but I'm not sure how much they'd take away from the classic look of these trucks. Seems like the longer I have mine the more I like it just the way it is.(cosmetically speaking)

Or if you havent installed them what do you think of them?

Also getting ready to FINALLY restore my Suburban I have been picking away at the chassis now for years but it is almost done at Pacific Fabrication, where most of the serious(engine swap, lift, etc.) work is being done and I will be doing a frame off this summer.

6.0L, 4L80, NP241, ECE SS Gas Tank, Magnaflow Dual Exhaust, 4Wheel Disc Brakes,Hydroboost Brakes, and a 2" Lift w/ 33's

Pics To come
Ty

I know what you mean Ty ,i was thinking on putting one piece window's in also but i decided that the with the vent window's in it kind of matched the way the back windows have the bar in them.Your ride sounds cool ,can't wait to see some pics.

Re: What do you guys think? One piece windows?

I don't like the one-piece look on 67-72's. It does take away from the character IMO. If someone was set on doing it on a a Burb I'd say do the rears too, which would require some custom work.

I do, however, like the look on 55-63's because it works well with the forward leaning A-pillars, but that's another story...

Frizz,

Did you ever get the 1 piece for the 55-63 to work out? I guess I lost track of that thread.. My Burb is screaming for a set... hope all is well
