There's something about those types of projects,and the giant Medium Duty crew cabs with pickup beds that makes me uneasy.I guess if someone drove a Mack for 40 years and retired and wanted a B-model pickup,I would support it.

That will most likely eliminate the cowl top vent but the truck will no doubt have AC so that is a moot point.

The glass will still be two straight flat pieces just five inches wider each than the original was.

Ir's going to be a bigger exercise in cutting, fitting and rearranging than my chop, section and stretch on my cab will be though.
Thanks for that.I would certainly be doing a lot of layout and sleeping on things and re-checking the cutting strategy before I take the wizzer to anything.

I have a cab and nose,in very,very good shape,intact and complete.That's the way I got things,I never saw it on a chassis.
