Window tinting
Do any of you guys tint the side and rear windows of your truck? I live in sunny South Florida and I usually tint any vehicle I own. My 61 has some on the rear window and its in bad shape. I was considering doing the entire truck except the front window.
I know its not period for the year of these trucks, but I am looking for some creature comforts.

Re: Window tinting
Mine aren't done, but I have seen quite a few that are. Make sure you have good door felts before, or you run the risk of scratches.

Re: Window tinting
I might get some smoked glass cut for my doors, and tint the back and vents myself. I'd rather not risk having the tint get scratched.

Re: Window tinting
unfortunately for us, it's illegal in CA to have tint on the forward 3 windows (drivers/passengers/windshield).. back window is okay tho. We have two of those, and they're too small to matter I think. (panel truck with barn-doors)
