I had to do a lot of cutting, notching and measuring. When you look at the pics you'll notice some things i did different from the article. - for instance - I didn't cut the big window clip on the inside of the cab, this gave me factory point of reference to get it perfectly lined up. In doing it this way - I had to notch the sides of the big window clip to get it to fit in.. you'll also notice that the clip is on the outside at the top and the inside at the bottom... fits really snug and once welded up and a little body work - you'll never know it wasn't factory.

Advice for anyone attempting this - its not a quick 4 hour project. I've been working on mine for about 3 weeks... to me it was worth it because I love the big window, however there is a lot of work involved. let me know your thoughts.

So are there two or 3 fleetsides in your garage... ? I am lucky to have just one.
