Having the window seal better and sound quieter isn't functional.

How does a stereo make the truck work better?
I actually said " add to the functionality or comfort of the truck"
Stereo goes under the comfort category.

And if Ford put as much manpower into making a sealing triangle window as they do making stupid things like this: http://www.lawnsite.com/attachment.p...1&d=1212028488 They could make the window seal just fine!

And that't why the trucks have large, A-arm mirrors. They are large and stick out so far that you can A. see around the back of your car forever, B. see around your trailer/shell easier, C. run them into tree branches over and over because they don't break and D. becuase they are out of the way of the post between both pieces of window glass.

But, fruity body style means no more A-arm mirrors(on the f-150 at least)... It all goes together.

I think that kinda looks cool for a custom truck.

I prefer the classic wing windows. I wouldn't change it.

Isnt it contradictory when someone throws out the word fruity yet stresses the need for comfort in a pick up truck.


Seriously folks, some people may wish to have a one piece window, this thread was intended for information of, everyones opinions are different and that is understood, so why clutter up this thread?

Well said Motorhead.

I emailed One Piece Windows they replied;

"We will be coming out with various Ford projects next year!
Thanks for your interest!"

I'm not holding my breath
