1956 GMC Truck - Almost Paneless

Once satisfied with the fit,

...the Cimbanins ran a series of tack welds starting from the center out,...

...spaced approximately 1 inch apart from each other.

Note that they paid special attention to the big back window channel...

...areas to make sure everything is exactly where it belongs.

At this juncture, Tim Cimbanin began body-working the rear window area using small amounts of body filler....

...Cimtex also relocated the fuel tank filler.

While the truck was apart, Tim and Darrell reworked the sheetmetal below the rear window area, reasoning it was far easier to do this now rather than later when the pickup bed was bolted in place.

This is how the finished product looks-ready for new rear window glass and weatherstripping.
