sliding rear glass window

[FLINT]

Hey guys,

do you know if its possible to put a sliding rear window in a m1028?

If so, is there a source for these?

Any rear window out of a similar aged chevy/gmc truck should work, right?

Thanks!

yes you can and yes it will fit and search. Jc Whitney Ebay ect...

just go to a car window shop and tell them what you want.

I put one in mine. The price was not to bad either $235 installed. Mat black frame dark tint window. Local car glass place had it the next day.

wow, I must be super cheap. I was hoping for like $50 or less.

I noticed a neighbor had a couple old chevy's yesterday and stopped to see if he wanted to sell the rear window and he wanted $150!! I thought that was outrageous.

When I was young, seems like my dad always got used parts off peoples junk cars for little or no money.

seems like everyone thinks their junk is made of gold these days.

Glass is not cheap anymore. The rear is a 4 piece unit with a solid aluminum frame. $50 would not cover the shipping on one..

Mind you, there were days that people thought $5,000 for a completely NEW car was already outrageous (like in the mid 1960s).

Law of demand and supply: if you need it, its expensive, if you want to sell it, its useless junk worth nothing.

yes, I definitely wouldn't expect to get a new one shipped for $50, but figured some guy wouldn't mind taking $50 for one sitting in an old truck that's rotting in his field.

Thanks for the links. I actually found one in a local junk yard for $60 which seems reasonable enough. I'll see if I can swing by there soon.

Yes. I ordered mine from "LMC" on the interwebs. I think it was about $128. I just never installed it yet.

My M1008 came with one, right from GL. I think it was listed as an option.

I installed a free slider in my 1008 from a friends scrap cab. I found it more difficult than the front glass due to the tighter radius, corners of the glass frame, when setting the seal. Be sure to use the rope trick with dish soap it will make it much easier!

Heres a pic of mine it came with the truck. the guy i got it from installed this and the front windshield from the junk yard. I open it up and it gets really loud with the exhaust stack in the back. Any way this truck is about to be my parts trucks.
