Could you make it one piece glass in the rear and eliminate the divider bar?

If not could a set of truck vent window divider bars be used in conjunction with some truck door glass? All that would be custom then is to have a set of rectangular vent windows cut to fill the forward void left.

If the angle doesn't look right you can have the truck class cut down & reshaped to make it look better & more proportioned.

drewskiren · 01-23-2012, 11:24 PM

OK, call off the search party- I found the rear door glass divider tracks!

VA72C10 · 01-23-2012, 11:29 PM

I'll cancel the APB I'd sent out

This much I know:
Charcoal grey leather seats from 2003 Chevy Silverado, heated.
Buckets with flip and fold seat/console. Makes it a 6 passenger.
1972 blue carpeting.
Black dash pad and sunvisors since that's what I have (new).
Inoperable factory dash, new Silverado dash hidden in glove box.
Headliner custom made at upholstery shop.
Some sort of lower valence panel across entire bottom of dash to house new electronics, switches, etc.

red71cheyenne · 01-26-2012, 09:18 AM

Looking AWESOME as usual Drew. Can't wait to see the interior shots.

AWESOME truck. I spent most of my day reading this thread when i first found it. Crazy to see it almost done.

Only complaint is the rims.... there has to be something better then those stockers. It makes the truck almost look original. ahaha Which means you did a great job.

I clicked on your link, but not sure what it is for?

When the money is better, the dash will be also.

Gokart Mozart · 01-27-2012, 05:43 PM

The electronic replacement of the old slide controls.

Gokart Mozart · 01-27-2012, 09:18 PM

I was doing some research and I found a common problem with the HVAC system blowing resistors and actuators going bad. Might be a good idea to check it over before throwing that spaghetti in.
