Flush glass for the Task Force trucks, no rubber, no sanding, no import fit problems
Fesler USA is now taking pre-orders for its DOT-certified flush-mount glass kit for 1955-59 Chevrolet pickups, covering both the Big-Window and Small-Window rear configurations. Production molds are being completed, and no charge is collected until the order is ready to ship.
What the kit is and how it was built
The kit includes a laminated front windshield and a tempered rear glass, bonded to the body with a FRIT band, primer, and automotive urethane. There is no exterior rubber trim, no molding, and no body modification required on a correctly prepared shell. The finished perimeter comes from the bonding system itself.
Fesler prototypes, molds, test-fits, and test-fits again before a kit ships. That process is what separates a glass that seats as delivered from one that gets sent to you oversized and expects the builder to sand the opening to make it work.

Why this truck needed its own kit
The 1955-59 Task Force trucks have a strong builder following, and the flush-glass look has become one of the defining moves on a clean build. Until now, the options were import glass that needed fitting work or polycarbonate panels that are not DOT-approved for street use. This kit is neither of those things.
"These trucks deserve glass that actually fits the opening, not glass you have to fight into it. We built the molds right so the builder doesn't have to fix our work at the shop." -- Chris Fesler
