The floors are flat and don't clear the trans etc.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Yes the cab will not "go on & all line up". If you are wanting the small back window for a different look, using just the back panel would be the way to go. I checked this out years ago, after seeing nice clean rockers & cab corners on a few of those trucks (due mostly to being up so high out of the slop I suppose). The floor & some of the firewall are different & since the floors are one of the first things to rot, it makes it not a very likely swap since you need the floor from the donor cab. Lorne

That's sharp;  i forgot that the topkicks had that smaller window.

Would this small window be legal on a 1/2 pickup?
