1 piece window

[kenny_strong]

has anyone ever taken out the wing window and put in a 1 piece window? How about power?????

[psychorodder]

I got kit from no limit,about 350 lousy instructions, you have to cut your doors out for working room and cut you wing post and spot weld brackets they fit like crap, I welded the cut out panel back and got vent wings from bone yard and put back as before way to much work your really butcher your door up, hey this is my opinion but I would not do it, very time involved.

Kenny Strong,

I did the one piece power windows and am glad I did. It is a lot of work but worth it in the end. I used Rodtronics power window kit and had the tinted glass cut , beveled and polished egdes by a local glass co. in Campbell , Ca. Probably the most important part of the job was welding a piece of rod under the rolled edge of the door skin for support. The door flexed quite a bit without it. It takes a lot of fitment time to get it right so that the window tracks up and down fully and clears everything. As a recommendation, BE PATIENT! I did it 7 years ago ,so if there is a kit available now, I would use it!!

Hi up in planet Oregon! The bottom color is actually a 2000 Chrysler 300M color called Dark Slate Gray Pearlcoat. It is very close to black but the pearl coat blended better with the silver. When I lived in the Bay Area I was asked alot if I was a Raiders fan... Not since they went to L.A.

Hey QWYKTRUK I've seen your truck before. Did you have a .gif of it somewhere with the parking lights blinking by chance? It's beautiful for sure. Why don't you start another thread and post up all the money shots for us?

Silver and black is color combo I was thinking of doing to my 60, since I am a Raider fan . I hope you dont mind if I "copy " you !!

[QWYKTRUK]

No Problem at all SlepySal.

I hope the raiders have a better year !!! I was a season ticket holder back in the 70's and early 80's.

Hey Frizzle!
I have had pics of the truck on several sites but not with blinking lights. I am about a month away from having the truck back together and will probably wait till then to post new pics. I have a buch of old shots and some recent ones of the truck on blocks , minus the motor I might put up. I'm trying to figure out how to post a link to my photobucket . Any hints?

Go to your pic in the photobucket account and right click it. Select properties, then highlight the entire URL to the right of Location:

Hit cntrl+C or right click and copy. Make sure the URL doesn't include TH_ before the image name. If it does you have the URL for the thumbnail and can simply delete the TH_ part (this is actually a short cut I use). Then back on this site select the Insert Image button and paste the URL in that field.

Hope that help. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

I have 22 pics there. I was hoping to be able to send the link to the album but it only says it can be emailed. I'm not sure how to make that work on this site. I'll work on it .

when you shaved your door handles how did you mount your solinoid on the inside?

I actually don't have solenoids in the doors.When I went to install them I saw what a hassle it was going to be,so I decided since I already put the power windows in, I would just use a remote control set-up to raise and lower the windows and just reach inside and open the door.It was cheaper and easier. I used Honda door pulls and made a custom door panel. It works really well.

Hey John,

What did those seats come from and did you make the door panels or did you have them made. That interior looks sick. Nice and simple and all covered in black leather, nice.

Thanks Chapstr

The seats are out of a '98 Lincoln Town car. They fit pretty good but I chopped down the backs so they would be under the window. The door panels are made from plywood and foam with some resin in a few places. The pulls and the trays at the bottom are from a 90's chevy truck and the handles are from a Honda(wrecking yard specials)
