Customs Converting Door Windows in 1951 GMC

I'd like to convert my '51 gmc doors to one piece gl*** using 1950 windows.

I am going to use an after market electric register. Looks like all I need to do is remove the metal separation between the main window and the wing wing...and replumb the felt, channels ets.

What am I missing?

 

Remove the metal strip, Get the front metal c channel from a 50 door. Put in felt and window. You may need the regulators from the 50 also.

 

Yes, you need something to guide the front of the gl***

 

Yep, you need the regulators too. Needs longer roller arms or the gl*** will be "nose" heavy and bind in the channels.

The older gl*** is laminated and thicker, too.

 

Here are a couple links that should help.
