Yes.
The rear brackets are made and bumper is on along with the trailer hitch. I still need to add angled bumper brackets to beef it up even more, but no time now.
Notice how the previous owner made a space for his trailer lights plug. Quality work there buddy.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I also had time tonight to start the rear door quarter windows. I'll mock it up and make a cardboard template and get the glass made. I tweaked the angle as much as I could, but couldn't quite get it parallel to the rear of the door frame.

Nope, it is actually not possible because the door hinges and door latch mechanisms both intrude into space needed for the full width door glass to retract into. It would be possible on the fake door, but why would you want one side with the small glass and one without.
A way you could do it would be to have them as one piece FIXED windows. As dumb as that sounds, it might be worth it. It sure would look good.

I was able to get the drivers side set up also. Here are my templates for the glass company.
