Looks like someone got One-Piece Windows

Someone either is riding without windows or figured out the One-Piece Window scenario for the 73-87 truck.........

I would say they don't have any windows. I'd just about bet money on it.

I do see some kind of reflection, could be the windshield but it's partially over the solar band on the top of the windscreen (I looked at the pic zoomed in) and I would conclude that this guy does have 1 pc. windows....plesae let it be it...I want to get rid of those noisy little windows

I love the look of those so much, I don't know what it is but it sure cleans up all that extra garbage and not to metion the noise issue. It almost looks as if there is weatherstripping around them? Or mabey not. They'll make some eventually....... I hope.

A second closer look..... I think he's going without windows, because in the reflection of the windsheild you can see something on the seat. with the windows up you wouldn't have that reflection. Just my little CSI thing.

If there is a window there it might not be a roll down window.

I'm not sure if there is a window in the hole or not. But, I bet if there is, it's piece of plexiglass that doesn't roll down. If he does indeed have operating windows, it's possible it's still plexiglass, unless he has tons of money to have some curved glass made.

Now, someone find out for sure what he has.

I zoomed in on it too. What I see is the papers you lay on the dash when entered in shows. They are reflecting off the windsheild it looks to me like.

Well, since he doesn't have wipers or headlights, it is strictly a show truck. So, this tells me he has no side windows.

BTW, that has to be the ugliest front end I've ever seen on one of our style trucks.

There's no window channel molding's in any of them pic's and that = No 1 piece window's in that rig.

What I see is a truck that's not complete. There a LOT of things the trucks doesn't have. No headlights, park lights, drivers side mirror, wipers, hood springs, hood latch, license plate,etc. I'm sure if I looked harder I could find more. What does all this mean to me? It means they are still putting the truck back together after a piant job, and rushed it out uncomplete to take a show.

It doesn't appear to have any trim in the window channel either, so my guess is it has no windows installed at all.

BTW- Having talked to an expert in automotive glass about one piece side windows at length, I'll give another reason why it doesn't have them. There would be a small triangle shaped filler piece at the front corner. According to the guy I talked with about it, it would be mandatory to have a small filler piece up front, or the glass would be too small at that point and prone to break...

The wheels are even worse, IMO.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention those. I thought maybe because I am older that they didn't appeal to me. Now I realize they are just ugly
