65 f100 one piece window kit

am in the process of building a 65 f100 and wanting to install one piece window kits in both doors eliminating the vent windows.was told vintage glass had the kit ,but turns out they dont have the kit for that year.anyone know who might offer a one piece glass kit for this particular year.would appreciate any help at all.the vent windows have got to go,am looking forward to possibly having one piece glass electric windows when done.half of the truck is painted now,still waiting on bed and hood,lots of pix in my gallery.please get back to me if you can help on the glass.thanks,clarkw123

Clark, There is no kit. The door hinges come into the space under the vent window. Find a way to eleminate the hinges and you might have a project.

If you can come up with a filler that would hold a mirror like the newer trucks do in the area where the vents are, you could slide in behind the hinges also.

Bobs F100 lists a kit. however i would assume major modifications are necessary to get the hinge pockets out of the way.

I have found no usefull way to get around the hinges without switching to aftermarket hinges.

Clark, I know for a fact that Garbz has spent much time researching in this area. I have bought a set of mirrors from a newer truck and maybe one day we can figure how to make them fit in the triangle area of the door.
