Re: 56 Cameo build

Yes Barnfind I do have one piece windows with bear claw latches and I am very happy with them. I also have stock hinges. I bought a kit from a guy that bought it from Brothers years ago. After installing the kit that was barely workable I saw a post on here from blackdiesel that instructed you how to improve on the kit. Much better. Then the guy that helps me with the hard stuff went to work taking the tracks loose inside of the door and made a window that completely fills the opening and goes down the whole way with the bear claw latches in place. Not an easy fete. My point is you can make a one piece window work but it takes a lot of work and ability to make it perfect. I hope this helps. Good luck. Tbrown

Thank you for the response. It does help a bunch. I never could get an answer on the on the one piece and bear claws. Now I know. I really like the look of the one piece. I have the vents
Windows in my 62 and 8use the because of no ac. This 57 will have it so I don’t see me needing them. Thanks for the response again!

Re: 56 Cameo build

Greatly impressed looks right with that bed cover and I’m usually not a fan of those on these or the square bodies. Looks like your having fun and getting to enjoy it
