So I broke my drivers side window this morning, and I need a new one. How old of a truck can I get a window out of and have it still work? My parts guy at work is saying 79. Im going to the JY to get a new one tomaro and would like to know.

thanks
Dustin

 

Sounds about right. If it looks like the same door, the glass should work.

 

I was in a wrecking yard the other day and was told to look for 83-93 trucks Ken

 

If The Window In Your Truck Is Power And The Truck It Comes Out Of Is Power Yes . Or The Other Way Around Other Wise U Need To Pull The Metal Piece Off The Buttom Of The Glass, The Glass Is The Same. Just The Metal Track Is Different

 

Its a manual. No frills here. I kept the bottom to take to the yard with me to make sure its the right one.

 

Kind of the same problem. I have been told that 87 and new for the vent window. Will the other years work?

 

if the truck has the same body lines the windows should be the same, so 80's-90's
70's are different vent windows, they have differnt latches

 

Well, my truck is now sporting a 74 window. It fits! but its not a "bolt in". The rails on the bottom are diffrent and you must swap them. Which, is easier said then done. I got the 74 rail off the 74 window, and cleaned up the 90 rail. The problem was, the rubber between the glass and the rail was ruined on both pieces. So, I had to make a new one, and the rubber I had was much thicker so it took some tweaking. All worked out in the end, the window was the same shape.

The vent window is a different design on the 74, but looked like it would bolt into my 90 door. Actually, the doors I think would interchange with little effort. I think Im actually going to go back and get the STEEL door panels off that same truck and paint them black. Then I can ditch my worn plastic ones for some steel that wont ever go bad
