Single Glass Window

I'm wanting to install single glass windows on my 54. I prefer the look of that and would prefer to go power window so I can easily open the passenger window as well without having to lean over.

Anyone done this install and can direct me to a thread? Doesn't have to be power conversion, I'm just curious how much cutting/fabriating I have to do and how much of the OEM window regulators I can use.

As far as I know, my inner regulators are shot, I can't open or close them without some elbow grease or backtracking to get them up/down. I'll take a look at it this weekend.

one window

If they cover your model I would sure look at nu-relics as they would bolt in place of your old regulator without modifying or cutting.
I am using them in m

y 52.

$600 for everything but the glass is not bad for a bolt in deal.

Seems like a lot $1000 + here I think there's more reasonable options but that being said if time or ability is an issue then a " bolt in " is definitely an option
