One Piece Door Windows

[78BBSTEPSIDE]

Has anyone installed the one piece door windows as offered by One Piece Products, 73-87 models? How was the fit, finish and the install?

We are selling those also, and For less I might add. (we are a distributor for OPP)

I am in the process of installing a set, but I have been busy trying to fix my Suburban.

For as far as I have gone, it is fairly straight forward.  I am up to the point of putting the glass in.  I was wanting to make a video install along with a write-up.

bigblock73 also has a set he is installing.

Thanks for the input, the windows look pretty slick and would be a neat modification to any truck. I'm aways off from doing the glass as I'm doing a frame up build. Keep us informed as to the progress and any challenges. Thanks

kevin whipps did a write up on the install in one of the truck mags, you can reach him at http://www.kevinwhipps.com/

There are several write-ups on these, the one below are done by Ben Tapia, the guy behind the kits...

thanks for the sites for the additional information. Most of the trucks I have seen in photos do not have side mirrors, is that a preference or is it a space issue? I would be running the small factory chrome mirrors used in the mid 70's with the factory inner brace. Other than modifying the brace as there would not be the vent window to attach to, should I expect any other issues as far as clearance?

There will be no issue with the mirrors, but you won't be able to run a brace.  My '73 pickup never had them if  you are talking about the small little mirrors.
