One piece windows and a nose job. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

crawdadfox · 04-10-2009, 10:36 AM

After recieving my missing parts for the one piece windows, i got around to installing the drivers side. It took about four hours to install and adjust to my liking. As with any after market parts there was a fair amount of "making it fit" involved, but was not too bad. Any square body guys installing one of these kits...make SURE that you grind the weld nuts on the inside of your door flush with the shorter hinge bolts that come in the kit! Not only will this save you alot of time pulling the new glass in and out a bunch, it will save you from breaking your new glass when you roll it down! Also a rat tail file is a must for slotting the adjustment holes (4 of them) I think the glass fit is good, and looks alot cleaner than the old wing set up.

crawdadfox,
nice shot of the new install. is this for sale still?? i had my interest peaked when i saw it (cuz i still remember it for sale out here...lol)?? i wish my '72 was done so i could buy a square body....

Oh yeah... the nose job! After being baked by the Arizona sun for over thirty years, the grill and headlight bezels needed some love. So armed with a $6.00 can of grey Duplicolor paint and a $70.00 (OUCH!) LMC Bowtie emblem, the front looks factory fresh again! And it makes those Jeep headights jump out at you!

I think they would rattle some, but i dont think it will be too bad. I have heard the same thing though. Good talking to you by the way!

tvblazer78 · 04-10-2009, 12:36 PM

I may have to think about getting the jeep lights that looks good! And so dose the rest of the truck..

JohnC · 04-10-2009, 03:35 PM

I really like those windows. Defintely a mod I am looking into after engine/tranny. Can you get some more pics of the top part of the window channel where the wing window frame was? That is one of the spots that I have heard people have concerns with.

The grill looks awesome too! Great work.

That truck is awesome. Great job.

Driveway Dreams · 04-10-2009, 11:31 PM

Truck looks good! I sell Jeeps and have wondered a few times what the headlights would look like on other rigs. Good, is the answer to that. When you get the other side in give us more pictures. PLEASE.

smashingchuck · 04-11-2009, 08:50 AM

Looks good. Have you considered sliding the rear view mirror forward slightly to make it flow better?
