Re: My 56 build
I just went through your build, and it is awesome. Some real thought and skill went into it. Glad I found it.

Re: My 56 build
Did you use the Specialty Power Windows kit? If not, which one did you use and is it working well for you?
Also, I've seen a couple of one piece window kits that have the glass with them, what kit did you use for the one piece and did a local glass company cut the window? Thanks.

Re: My 56 build
Yes, it’s in there too. There’s a cover to the box. The panel bolts to the inside of the cover. So the panel can be pulled out. You can see the 4 screw heads in the picture. It’s snug, but well ventilated.

Re: My 56 build
Funny story… I was reading another post on the forum. It was mentioned to make sure your windshield fits if you are replacing the upper eyebrow area over the window. That was about a month ago. So I’ve been sweating a little. I’m nearly ready to install my new windshield in its new hole that hasn’t been fitted.

Re: My 56 build
Installed the windshield and rear glass this weekend. Hands are sore, but they’re in. Now that the glass is in it's starting to look like a truck! Working on the doors next.

Re: My 56 build
Looks really nice!! How much help did you have on the glass?? I am not looking forward to installing the glass and my front has the stainless trim. I am afraid of breaking the windshield installing it. Steve

Re: My 56 build
remember that the windshield doesn't come too far inside the rubber so it actually kinda sits against a ledge. otherwise the windshield would be pushed into the cab, worse case scenario. the rubber is kinda smaller than the glass if you think about it that way.

Re: My 56 build
i actually did the front first and had less issues than the back. that lock-strip thing makes it a good bit crazier
