Re: Weird Windows

Looks kinda like the ends of a bbw glass from a tf truck....
one of those car fixer tv shows was building a ad truck for somebody, and was fabbing the truck to use a one piece bbw from a tf...they never finished it though...I was really wanting to see how it turned out...

Re: Weird Windows

I'm going with snagged from another vehicle and they may or may not be from a truck. Or a pickup at least.

I'm thinking that the whole section was cut out of another truck and transferred to that truck though. The back window isn't AD truck.

Any info on where the photo was taken? It could be that the truck was built somewhere that there were trucks sold with those back windows and a bit of tape measure effort showed that they would fit.

You can have custom glass made to fit and have it tempered But I doubt that is the case this time.

Re: Weird Windows

Kind of looks like and International back cab. I bet those oversize corner windows are Plexiglas. They can be heated and formed as needed. That makes more sense than them being glass...
