Does anyone know of a company that makes skins specifically for the 4905. I was told of a company that made an exact replica of the window panel right down to having the rivet holes drilled in the correct position. When I skin the two windows on each side I want it to carry under the roof panel and reuse the existing holes. I know I could make my own but thought if someone already had the panel pattern and they came pre-cut and drilled it would make this a much easier process.

BTW, I have already checked with IBP in Florida and they do not make the exact panel but would cut to size. Problem is they want $1000.00 for four .060 gauge aluminum sheets  ??? plus freight, which seems way out of line for the price of aluminum sheets. I am sure I could buy the sheets for $150.00 locally.

Thanks,

Buy some aluminum, place the old window over it and make the cut/drill pattern from it, caulk and install. It's so easy it's almost fun, and much cheaper.  You can cut most of it with a circular saw, which beats the hell out of a jigsaw all around. You'll probably have to add some additional framing in either case, and you'll have to drill the panels for that anyway.

Bryan, give Ed at Jefferson in OKC OK if they were made he will know where to buy 1-800-813-9367.
Jefferson is big in Eagle parts but they stock GM parts also and Ed knows his GM buses.
The owner Jerry owned a 4905 for years fwiw
good luck

Clifford,

I know Ed and will give him a call. I know I could make a pattern off the existing panel but thought if a company sold them precut and drilled it sure would make it nice.

Thanks,
Bryan
