Just wondering if converting a small back window to a large back window was something that is usually done.

I have my eye on a nice '64...but it has a small window...I like the big windows.

I dont know if this is much help but there is a issue of truckin magazine that has step by step details on how to convert a small window to big window on a 64 long bed.The issue of truckin magazine is july 2002 and the acticle is called Big-window wishes and shortbed dreams.

How far are you from Hanna, OK. I bought some parts from a guy there and stripped a big window cab. Cab was no good but if you cut the inner panel around the window , you could cut the outside metal to the size of the big glass and weld that panel instead of what they did in the article. They cut, blended and fabed it. Some spot welds and probably one long but weld across the upper inner panel where the roof and back panel meet. If you want his number let me know
