Started my big back window conversion today
Well it has been below freezing down here for most of the past 2 months, today it warmed up to about 60, so I rolled the Truck out and started cutting on the cab. I may have taken a bit of a different approach than others, but I wanted the big stuff out of the way so I can get to both sides around the spot welds as much as possible.
I started inside and took a 4 inch grinder with a Cut off wheel and sliced up the sides then ascross the top and bottom. I moved outside and rough cut around where the big glass will be. Then I just removed the big chunk of metal and I had a big hole in the back of the cab. I can work on it by drilling out some welds in my single car garage without making to much noise since the grinder part is done. Everything echos like crazy in the small garage. Plus I can do this while the weather is back below freezing starting tomorrow. It isn't finished but I love the look already! It lets in more light inside the cab, and has the look only a big window can show off.... A classy look! I I'll have to post pics one at a time from my iPhone
