Rear windows

The rear windows on bumpsides are specific to 67-72 or do they interchange with 73-79 ?

If I remember correctly the Front ones will interchange but the rear windows do not. They are a little taller and come to a point on the bottom corners.

They're not even close. In fact, the '73 dealer brochure specifically mentions the "...39% larger rear window".

Side note the 73-79 rear windows interchange with the 92-95ish bodystyle fords.

And to think I scrapped the truck that had one in it. But wife was on me to get it out of the yard. It was a basket case rusted hulk, but had a splitwindow. Oh well I'll know better next time.

Do you need a slider rear window?
I know where there are a couple in a yard near me.
I also have a solid one in good shape if you'd want that instead.

just another design feature that makes bumps better then dents in my opinion!!!!!

TWO-BIT yes I am looking for a slider if I can find one. I see you are near MAD-town. Let me know by mail or PM what they want for one thanks.

just to report in on the source i used to determine the rear glas interchange for the dent sides. the book i got the info from was a 1988 edition book. i relooked it up and it said the glass was for 73-79 only the 80 and up trucks used a different number for the glass interchange. but i know i read someplace that it was up to 91 for the interchange but maybe that source was wrong i dont know.

The rear glass is the same from 73-96.I have a dent rear window in my 96.

BTW, does anyone still make a sliding rear window for our trucks?

jc whitney used to. i know where a used one is if your interested in it. i think its a factory window too.
i can probably get the rubber with it if i try hard enough.

I've got several, haven't decided whether I'll use one in my '67 or not. I listed one on E-bay a while back and when the winning bidder found out that the shipping was going to be about $100 due to it being oversized, he backed out...and I guess I didn't blame him too much, I'd have probably done the same.

surely the shipping wouldnt be that high. i bet it is oversized though.
