Sounds like a solid plan. Let's see more photos! Will you make a color change or repaint the same color?

Nice rides! Easiest way to convert to big window, First convert your small window truck into cash greenbacks. Then convert cash into a nice big window truck.

Good luck. Otherwise there are a few threads here on the conversion, if you haven't seen them yet.

thanks guys,yea BiGglass that would be alot easier.Here's a few more pics of my 58,its an older build with early 80's Plymouth front suspension.it has a sbc in it,the interior is finished nice with smooth dash,aftermarket steering column.I'm going to cut roll cage out and change shifter to a lokar.

Hey Dan,I'm going to keep it the same color,going to take cream off tho,it doesn't go with the grey interior to me.I'm thinking about buying a set of ridler 645 rim with gray center might paint a gray close to what on them in place of cream,also thinking about removing the body side spear off the bed to give it a look like a cameo.
