power back window for AD - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

saw this in 50 3100 in classic trucks mag, july 2016 issue, though it was too cool not to post up
this guy dropped the bottom of the window to match the corner windows and then made it a power window
terrible pic but the only one i could find online, classic trucks has no website to archive pics
classictrucks.com just goes to hotrod.com and is pretty worthless for looking stuff up

Tells you how well I read that article because I didn't see the power window . Now you make me go dig though the whole stack to find the issue and read it lol.

That idea has been around for later trucks for quite a while but it would take some real fabricating to carry it off on an AD and have it look right.

I plan to drop the bottom of the rear window like Cole Foster did on his old truck (old because he sold it) when I chop the top to get the bottom down even with the door glass. I'm not sure I would want the window to be extra tall on a truck that wasn't chopped though.

I was thinking about doing it on my corner windows! That way I wouldn't have to cut them, still thinking about it.

I thought that truck looked familiar, I was a paint rep in Salinas when I saw that truck parked outside his shop.

That's my paint on there, I gave him a gallon of it.
