Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up

Wow! Thanks for the window link. I've been trying to find someone to cut the glass by me with no luck. I printed out Blackdiesel's pattern but I live in the boonies and there is nobody here to cut it.
I take it the glass fit OK? In Blackdiesel's thread they made the glass bigger than the ones that Brothers sells I think.

The Black COE was the only truck where one of the guys from the shop that built it, said the truck is primarily for shows and will see very little Highway/ street duty. The '66 on the back of it with the diesel Duramax twin turbos is street legal and has seen some street and when fully completed will see a lot of street and open highway. It's a 8 second ride and with additional work to the roll cage plan on getting into the high to mid 7s.

The red '67 C-10 is for sure a driver coz I passed it on the street after the show in the thick of traffic off the Las Vegas strip.

All the other trucks were in the after show "IGNITED" Parade. I have pictures and video on the links below but have not finished posting all of them yet.

Hey you're welcome Az. Hank. I am pretty pleased with my door glass from AUTO CITY CLASSIC. I understand why Blackdiesel's pattern is a 'Lil bit larger than the window from Brothers. Even with my window if there was no window channel felt in the door there is a very small but slightly noticeable opening at the upper front portion of the window at the bend or curve it you don't fine tune and make adjustments.

It's hard to find people willing to cut you the glass. I found a guy here in L.A. He said that's all he would do, is cut the glass but go some where else to get somebody to install it. He told me trying to install the one piece glass and make them work correctly is too frustrating and did not want to be bothered, he would only install the originals glass with the vent window.

However you got Blackdiesel's instructional video on here & You Tube so you are good to go. Get the glass from AUTO CITY CLASSIC and some good felt channel and you won't be disappointed.
