Convert small back window to big

How sick and wrong and hard would it be to convert a small back window to a big one on a 1960 F-100?

"Hard" depends on your skill level. You'll be using a donor cab and doing the transplant so is your metalworking skill level up to the task? I got myself a BBW cab and swapped it out.

Donor cab? Humm... I hoped there might be a "big window kit" of some sort. Just cut the window using a template, and install a reproduction window in the new hole. Does any such kit exist?

I don't think any kit assists for our years. It can be done, but requires a donor and good welding skills.
