After market window installation in a bare cargo van is fairly simple IF you're skilled or experienced working with the necessary tools. I've installed or replace close to 50 and when done correctly leaks aren't really a problem.

My parts-car is a '79 E150 "Trailer Special" with all the nice windows. The camper van I'm building is an '87 E150 cargo van, with rear windows, and windows in the sliding cargo door. I have thought I'd like to put the RIGHT rear quarter window from the parts-car into this cargo van just to lessen the chance of my making a lane-change into somebody coming up on my right. Presumably the way to do this is to saber-saw a couple of inches of the stamped framing around the window in the parts-car, butt-weld it into a matching hole I'd saw out of the cargo-van, and get a bodyman to take out the distortion from the welding. This project is some ways off, so I haven't asked about it, but as long as it's under discussion here, I'd like to hear more on this.
Are all the replacement seals still available for these windows?
