Re: Big window conversions?

heyyy! I didn't even catch that that was the one delmo built until i saw the offset rear plate. She's looking REAL nice btw. I like the bbw conversion, turned out great. It's quite shiny! did you clear coat it?

Wow, very nice looking truck - nice job to delmo and you both.

Re: Big window conversions?

I got a line on a '60 BBW cab from my neighbor for doing this swap on my '66. Problem is, I been thinking. I like the knee-knocker windshield better anyways so why not just kill two birds with one stone? lol. Good info here though!

Re: Big window conversions?

If it's not to much to ask.....................

How much did you have to pay the guy and was he a body shop guy or a guy that works on trucks?
