trenchtractor Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 all 85/86 trucks in north america had smooth beds and one piece door glass. other countries you will find wing windows and rail beds. So I guess I'll be trying to buy a NA window kit...? Anyone know if the winders and mech were different?? If they were the same I can have a glass shop cut/temper some glass and use my mech. I have two full sets of doors so I can always try it out on my worst set of glass. Quote Link to comment
steve g Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 all you need is the front track, the rubber window seal and the belt mouldings. you can use your regulators with the N.A. glass. Where are you? Quote Link to comment

Where are you? Oz. North Queensland, actually. Not many 720's in the wreckers here, and I've not seen another one around town with single windows... Quote Link to comment
Smiley720 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) O.K. So it was a beautiful weekend in Colorado and I got a little work done. Saturday my stepson was in the garage all day and I taught him how to use the grinder (he's 10). We got the frame smoothed out the rest of the way including putting in fill plates at the rear of the frame in the open space. Sunday my buddy came through with some steel and I pondered for a while and decided to start building the reverse 4-link. I got the parallel bars build and mount tabs ready to be tacked on. In the pics the bars are sitting on top of the frame but they will hang from the bottom. Next weekend is supposed to be another nice one so hopefully the steel fairy can make a run through my garage again. Ugly C channel filled in No more nasty crossmember Lot's of room for bag toys!!!!

Smiley720 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) Here's the beginning of the 4-link build. Bar's and the old crossmember. Bar's are cut long so I can trim them when I get the heim joints the bars will be mounted on the bottom Edited October 19, 2009 by Smiley720 Quote Link to comment
