Also if anyone has this kit installed can I get a picture of the interior side of it around the trim line?

     I am not sure, but I believe chris (the owner of this site ) sells those kits in the store.  Hit the store button on top to see the stuff he sells.  When I get to that point of my build, I am going to take the slider out of my 74 k10 and install a 1 piece in it's place, so if you end up doing it post your progress so we can see how it goes.

     Can not help you there, but I am curious also, like I said I want to do that this summer.

I've seen the videos but I need information from someone who's not a professional to see if it's as easy as it looks and I want to see the interior view before installing this kit

The interior has a piece of trim that goes over the pinch weld.  The glass is glued in.  If in doubt, I would recommend getting a professional installer to put it in.

I'd be interested in seeing how it looks as well.

Doesn't look much different than before.  I changed the pic links and just uploaded them.

That looks sweet. And those seats are nice too. Id love OPP all around (side doors and rear). Is there any advantage to having the OPP which is glued in compared to the 1 piece stock window that has the gasket?

The One Piece rear glass is glued in and flush mounted.  It just like the door glass is a cosmetic change.  There is no advantage over stock.
