Big window 53-55

Does anyone know if the rear big window conversion kits will work with the 53-55 F-100; if so do you have or know of a tech article on the topic.
Thanks in advance

This should be a good article

The kit is meant to work with 53-56 F100 cabs. That section of the 53-56 trucks are the same (with the small window). The kits are known as 53-56 Wrap Around Rear Window Conversion kits. There is a tech article at Classic Trucks magazine. Click this link for the article or copy and paste the web address below for the article in your browser.

Just as F100 Central mentioned. The BW panel will work in a 53-55 as the back section of the small window cabs are extremely similiar. This a local buddy's 53 with the panel installed.
