wrap around rear window questions?
I have a "Big Back Window" like the 1956 Ford trucks. This one came from a 1961 Unibody. I have the window frame. The truck was in the junkyard and they wouldn't sell the truck, only parts. I was wondering if anyone has put one in a 1966? I'm thinking of doing it.

One of our members built one. It's not a weekend job. His name is Chad, and you can put out a call for him on our message board:

Chad and his dad were my inspiration too. I put mine on because my cab was dropped off a trailer and the original roof was all oil-canned.
I got the entire unibody roof, and the cut was made on the windshield 'A' pillars at the factory seam, and at the bodyline where the roof hits the cab.
I had a professional body man do mine, a guy who had done many roof chops before. He put 80 hours in my cab, about 70 of which was installing that roof.
No weekend job is right.
