Re: 55-57 one piece windows
I went to order the PDF file on line at Kinko's and all I could seem to order was in a poster format and they wanted $43.00 so I went in and told them what I wanted and it only cost $3.30. Just wanted to let everyone know.
Thanks for this thread everyone.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
I also decided to go with power windows. It looks like you don't need that metal "C" channel as it comes with the kit.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Sorry to rehash an old thread again but what better place than in this thread.
I am about to start this mod on my truck in NZ. Obviously its a bit harder down here with the lack of suppliers but I have a good exporter in LA which helps heaps. I was looking at the extension needed to extend 3" for the channel run. I know its been linked above a number of times but is it the same part as #7 on this page from LMC. I was going to be getting a few small parts (roof skin and visor) from them shortly and thought I might just add it at the same time...... Finally - the 3 links from restorationspecialies - Do I just need 1 of each piece to complete or multiples. Q Last edited by QBRacing; 08-21-2017 at 02:05 AM. |

On the other links you only need 1ea the last number of the part number is 96 meaning it is 96 inches long. |

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
I have a 1955 TF truck converted to one piece side glass. I used the Specialty Power Windows kit and the window run trim from Restoration Specialties part #10M-96-WIN. It requires 2 each. One for each side, these fit perfectly. They come in a long straight piece. You can pre shape them with the glass before it's installed.
The Specialty Power Windows kit comes with a template for the glass shape. The motors in the kit are fast and quiet running like my new Silverado. I have to still order the window felts that attach to the door openings horizontally. Additionally, the Specialty Power Windows kit comes with the forward channels that fit down in the doors, switches and decent instructions to complete a one piece window project and was what I needed as my truck had no existing windows or regulators (you will have to source the glass).

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Anyone used Auto City Classic for their one-piece door glass - how did it fit? I'm wanting tinted glass for all pieces and feel like I need to get them from same vendor to get consistent shading. Went through the thread pretty quick and did not see any reference to them. Thanks. -Bob

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Found elsewhere on the net that the company is closed down so the website isn’t up now. Hopefully someone else can provide that file in the future. I still have my template in Masonite.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Looking into it and I think the template is the least of my worries. There just don’t seem to be any suppliers for the felts or channels and shipping seems very expensive from the states. Looks like I’ll be sticking to the quarter window for now

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Contact blackdiesel or GRIMSS, blackdiesel is the one who made the template, and I know blackdiesel was going to send GRIMSS the PDF. I have it somewhere but I have 12TB of hard drives so just searching for a unnamed PDF takes forever!!!
