SteveMelchiorre Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Just a quick update on the progress of my '52 B3B. I finally had the rear quarter windows cut into my truck last week. These came out of Dale's donor truck last November. I'm still prepping the area for paint but I thought you guys might want to see some work in progress pics... Steve... Quote
grey beard Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 I'll say that job took a lot of "want-to!" Your work certainly looks nice. Now all you need are a set of wing vents and shorter side windows, a right hand sun visor and an electric wiper setup and you've got a real custom cab. Congratulations. Keep us posted on your project. Quote
woodscavenger Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Nicely done! Let me know how easy it is to put the window in with new rubber. I am scared to touch mine for fear of breaking them but the old gaskets leak. Quote
1949d100 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 I noticed that you have vintage plates, will ICBC still register it as vintage after you put the side windows in? Quote
SteveMelchiorre Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks for the feedback. Funny thing about my truck was that it already had the wing vents on the doors but no quarter windows....all the more reason I wanted to have them cut in. Regarding my vintage plates....they came w/ the truck when i bought it 8 years ago...and I really have no desire to tell ICBC about any modifications I'll post some inside pics over the weekend if anyone is interested.

Steve... Mine has the vent windows as well and not the rear side windows. I read somewhere that the canadian trucks came that way. Quote
Reg Evans Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Any photos of the cab with paint yet ? Quote
SteveMelchiorre Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Posted October 28, 2010 Yep.... there's a few in 2 recent posts I put up: http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=23073 http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=22058 ...but I have some better ones at home.
