yup I ran a die down on the switches, its threaded to fit the knobs themselves. you have to cut them to matching lengths so they fit together
you can put a nut on the back to keep it tight

Yes it is, I bought the glass, track and felt runners from bobs F100 parts. then the power window motor kits from steamline street rods here in Denver. then I had to cut out most of the hinge pockets, and did all body work on them doors, then fitted the glass in with the tracks, I had originally used steel braces to mount the motors but it would bind up in different positions, so I changed to aluminum to allow it to flex as it runs up and down, works really good now, I havent finished my passenger door yet. it takes alot ot patience and time making sure its all correct, the pass side just needs the motor mounted like the drivers side is. I havent run my wiring yet but have hooked it all up and made sure it worked. im waiting for a better deal on some of them electric switches that look like your original roll up ones and use them handles, 100 bucks a side is a bit expensive for a switch lol

very nice grill not many 62 aluminum grills floating around, gauge panel is nice, pretty color is your going to paint it that color, see you have stock rims as well also

thanks, I have the paint its HOK stratto blue, and im wanting to two tone it with the metallic grey also (as the dash is) but not sure as to how im going to work that out, or if il leven do a two tone on the exterior or not.
I am finding them mothers wheel polishing balls work great for the aluminum, been spending hours on my headlamp trim rings and will get the grill really shiny I just cleaned it up with windex and it came out like that

The only thing I can see wrong is the grill. That truck needs the painted 62 Grill. I just happen to have one I will trade. :wink:

Alan yes you could, but you would have to be very carefull, all the work is done inside the door the only part you have to be carefull with is getting the glass track in and the glass itself in without scratching, I nicked mine just a tiny bit, being carefull and no help, so if you have a helper to put the thing together it shouldnt be a problem, also be carefull cutting out the guts and dont cut through the door lol

Actually I am going to have the outer frame and star in the center of mine nickel plated, and paint the 2 wide bars body color.
