"Thick" Window Channel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 50 3100 that I am rebuilding. Really would like to eliminte the metal wrap on the door windows. Does someone sell a thicker window channel that would allow this to be removed and still fit the glass snugly?

I've gotten it though local glass shops before but there are online suppliers that sell it and show the dimensions.

I see Rock auto shows glass channel but you have to figure out the measurements http://www.rockauto.com/en/tools/bod...+channel,12412

Rock auto says this one but the 5/8 doesn't sound right. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....6744&jsn=10545

This is Rock Auto's source https://www.metrommp.com/?f=part_lis...%26%20Sweepers

I'd still check local sources as they want 20.00 extra for shipping to ship the channel and you may come out way ahead by paying a bit more locally. Check around the area for old long time in business glass shops rather then the quicky slap a windshield in your late model places.
