Dittos to the side window look. I wish Ford made a Suburban back then.
I have toyed with the idea of doing side windows in my 55 panel.
About 4 or 5 years ago at Pigeon Forge Supernats I saw a F100 panel which had tinted flush mounted long "side" windows, and the truck was painted the same color as the windows, making them nearly invisible. Looked cool.
Since the panel roofs are way up there, I also thought about doing a sunroof towards the rear, to light it up back there, since you can get mugged back there as dark as it is. As with most my ideas, I chickened out, but there's still time!

I hope no-one is "encouraged" to convert an early panel . No matter how great a body-man people think they are , I think very very few could do a good job of it. I've seen several panels ruined by side windows & stupid sunroofs put in.Buy a Bronco II instead or something else with no value & save the early models. Of course this is just my opinion , and I know the saying... Opinions are like navels , everybody has one and most of them stink.
