This kit is from EZ Wire kit. It is a fairly universal design with Bosch motors and hardware to install flat glass. I was impressed that it included the switches and harness. If you compare by price to say a Summit kit you will see they don't compare because some kits do not include the switches and wiring. I'll surely put up pictures when the windows are installed soon.

Looks like one piece windows are just not in my future right now. I'm going to have to either send my glass back, which is probably too expensive, or cut it to fit. This means that the vent windows will be staying. Least I'll have power windows regardless.
Bell housing should be in tomorrow. If all goes well this week I'll have the transmission installed, driveshaft cut, exhaust installed, and alignment done. Looking forward to taking my fiance out for a summer cruise.
Hoping and crossing my fingers there are no more set backs.

Bell housing finally shipped although it took 3 months. I made sure to get tracking number because I've heard this story too many times. I'll post some more pictures in the next few weeks once the transmissions is installed and I start on the exhaust.

My truck finally has a 4 speed. It took another kick down cable, dip stick, HELL AND HIGH water, and too much patience.
The driveshaft should be cut today along with the glass.
All fluids have been topped off and I hope to have a video posted soon of it running. We will be hauling it over to get an alignment next week along with a new exhaust. After it will be driveable.
