solid window on doors

Post by lightning_msd »

i think it was in classic trucks or custom classic trucks someone took out the vent windows on an effie and did some mods so that it was a one solid window. has anyone thought about doing this with our trucks or has anyone accomplished it?? i think it would look sharp. buckinthebowtie might know what im talking about

I think the hinge bolts need to be modified. They would interfere with the glass. I think it would look pretty cool to eleminate the vent window.

I did some research on this a while back when customcrewcab started a thread about this, and I posted some pictures about what I found out. It's doable, but will definitely take some work, mainly to the upper door hinge area.

Here's the thread where it was being discussed:
