The photos you posted look like my 56 panel. When the bodywork was started 8 years ago, I had never seen a one-piece window on a panel. I liked the idea of not having to look around that 8" section right in the middle of the mirror. The other reason was because it makes the rear view of the truck look lower and wider. I have seen about 4 of these done this way in last 3-4 years.
Well I decided to go ahead and do the big window without talking first to a glass shop, figured others have done it so I dove in. The time off work over the holidays were productive, finally got the rear door fitting properly, gaps are good and I am happy, so the extra time went to the window. I have one small oil can to deal with at the bottom of the door and it's time for filler.
Looks good. The trickiest part will be blending the seem without messing up the OR in the lettering. Looks good, keep us posted.
Worse comes to worse I'll be driving a FO D, no problem,lol.
Actually it is very close considering the shape the doors were in when I started, once I get the oil can dealt with and my locking devise set up I remove the door ,strip it clean and start the body filling.
