1973-87 Chevy & GMC Squarebody One Piece Side Glass Conversion / Vent Window Removal 

Those vent windows are about 66 percent of the reason I bought my 85 Suburban. They were the very first thing I restored.

Hmmm…. This is the reason I drive these old trucks. Lol Now, make a kit to add a vent window to a cateye. 😂

I don’t own a square body nor am I a Chevy fan and not sure why I watched the video but this is quite possibly one of the best how to videos I have ever seen. Great job and those windows look super clean.

I really appreciate this channel. Thanks! 😎

I love my vent windows.

Another informative video. I like the vent window delete on the square body but I would never do it on my 53 Chevy 3100. My 53 has these super cool little visors over the vent window. Factory A/C doomed the vent window. I have all electric A/C in my 53 but I still think the vent windows are cool. Thank you for your time.

Great option, but I wanted to stay a bit old school and stuck with the vents. Maybe the next project 👍

Them vent windows are the next best thing when your ac takes a dump

This was awesome

Thanks again 👍

I wish I had my 80 Scottsdale now

For best results, I would recommend watching the whole video before starting the procedure as there are some things that can be done out of sequence. The Setting Tape can be removed and folded the day before the installation or even set in the sun to get the fold to set. It seems the removal of the Sash from the window should be moved up in the procedure. If acetone soaking is required or yields the best results, it may be beneficial to start the soaking as soon as the old window is removed from the door while you are working on the other steps. A second dose of acetone can be applied while you are between other steps.

It does look a lot cleaner with the one piece glass. However, the cool factor with the vent windows makes conversions a tough choice. The cost of replacing the vent window assembly leads me back to considering the conversion...

No more “ no draft” windows, very cool! Nice project, that really cleans up the doors on these trucks. I suggest you do one one weekend and the other the next weekend. Thanks to David , your in the know, to get those No draft windows 2 piece windows replaced with these very cool one piece windows! Thanks David! You rock!

Nope! I love your vids but I will never give up my wing window.

Once again, you make this look easy. Has anyone done this to a '73-75 K5? I'm curious how the cut-down door would respond to losing the vent window.

Best tech chanel ever🏆

Nice job , thanks David 🇺🇸

Honestly when the ac is on the only time I ever used my vent window was to smoke. They always whistle and leak. I could take ‘em or leave ‘em

What kind of monster would get rid of the vent windows

I like me wings in my 72s

Love this look would much rather do this than fix my vent windows. That being said i will happily pay someone to do this job LOL.

Need to find a shop here in Texas that can do this on my 82 GMC Sierra. Awesome informative video.

I like your videos Great job 👏 👍 I have a 1991 square body Not a lot out there for the 1991 search I was wondering if the parts from a 87 would fit the 1991 square body? Thanks

I have a truck with the big window kit and another with the original wing window set up. The big window is way way way better looking. But I wouldn’t do it again unless it’s a show truck. The wing window is so nice when you want just some fresh air. With that said the brothers kit it was a great kit and install was easy. And everything worked great. Took me 2 hours to do both side super simple if you own a square body truck you probably can do this on your own

Oh crap. Now I have TWO C10s to have to do this conversion, my '68 and my daughter's '76. 😆😆😆

Does this kit work with power locks? And if so is there any modification necessary to accommodate for the 1 piece window kit?

Great and very detailed video. However, i am curious how structurely more flimsy/flexible will a factory door be when the vent window support brace is removed. Are there any sealing issues with the new large glass? Additionally, when driving down the road with the window half down, is there alot more glass flex? Thank you.

Can you guys make a video showing how to put the cab of a c10 on a frame from a different year? I have a '61 cab but I'll be putting it on a '72 frame. I don't know where to weld the cab mounts because I don't know if the cab will be to far forward or to far back so that it won't line up with the fenders. Any help is appreciated

I like your videos do you have the opposite kit to install a vent window

Do you have a wing window conversion kit for a 2003 chevy?

Is this just for trucks or for trucks and the 1985 gmc sierra classic c15 suburban 2wd?

Man i wish id gone this route. Vent window seals are a biatch

I am so torn about going to a one piece window. The one piece windows look very out of place on a square body, but just replaced all the seals in one of my doors, and vent window is still whistle.

After waiting 18 months for this kit, it showed up today... Both pieces of glass are scratched due to zero protection inside the box and missing several pieces of hardware. I'm beyond pissed! I'll have to wait until tomorrow to contact Holley as they're now closed.

Any issue with the mirrors getting wonky? The factory mirrors on mine have a support that goes between the inside of the door and outer skin to boot the mirror on which would have to be deleted.

You guys think you could do the 60-66 Chevy c10 Hidden tailgate hinges?

where can i buy vent windows for newer pickups

How you doin just wondering if that full window kit will be the same to install if I have power windows on a 85 silverado

Do You Plan on Selling Any S-10 Parts or Panels??.....Or Some Videos??

If this has been asked already my bad but does this work with power windows?

Always enjoy the tech videos, but I just got an email that said Brothers Truck is moving to Kentucky, does that mean you won’t be doing anymore videos or are they going to keep a satellite store in California

Any videos on adding power to the windows?

Is this kit still available? The link says message 404. Posted 8/8/2022

Do you have this type of kit a 1963 C10?

Any chance for a 66 C10 vent delete kit?

Is this available for 61-67 aFord Econoline Econoline ?

Is it safe?

I just don't understand people. I would happily buy a wing window kit to put on the newer trucks I have the misfortune of driving.

I wish with all my heart that it was this easy. I guarantee I pop my 73 apart. It’s not gonna be like this.

Why would anyone want to get rid of the wing window.

How do I order

Nice 👍

Honestly I'm not a fan of those old vent windows at all, they're a pain once the pivot or frame breaks, much better with a 1 piece window.

Crazy, LS swapping, rear disc conversion, suspension lowering...now doing away with the iconic vent window..why??? Its just destroying the squarebodys ....leave them ALL origial...they are knocking off the price value of them....stupid idea.👍🇺🇲😀

Ummm....NO!

The video work is terrible! Zoom in and give us some detail!
