Big window to small!

What are your thoughts? Have you or anyone ever done this? I know it might sound crazy but I'm from Minnesota so we do have a lot of time to think in the winter months. Anyways I am in the process of fixing up my 1978 GMC 1 ton. When I originally bought the truck it looked good from the outside but upon closer inspection the cab was badly rusted. I was able to located a better cab but it also had rust and the roof was damaged. The reason I got it was the floor was almost rust free which is hard to find in Minnesota.

In comes my Idea!

After doing research I came to the conclusion to just go for it. So I found the back and roof off a 70's C65 and am in the process of putting the two together. I like the look but it does not come without it's challenges. So far what you see is what has been done. On Saturday morning it started out just the two of them and by Sunday night I had everything rough fit and doing more each night as time allows. So let me hear it, what are your thoughts?

Also for those interested you can see the truck in this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=559835
