rear window idea
« on: September 26, 2001, 06:28:00 PM »
Has anyone ever thought about a power 1 piece rear window?
It seems like it might be possible.You could use something like what is in the tailgate of a blazer.It probably wouldn't be exactly the same but maybe close enough to get an idea.Have any of you ever seen or heard of anything like this.May'be some of you custom experts out there can gimme some input on this.

One piece rear window as apposed to what?  All the 73-87's pickups came factory with a one piece back window.  The sliding glass was an added option.  (am I missunderstanding you?)

Example (looking from the side):

I was wondering if the solid rear window could be set up to roll up and down like the door windows do,like the window in the tailgate of a blazer does.The only reason I put "1 piece" was so it would not be confused with someone elses post about a power sliding rear window.When I read that post it got me thinkin....

I have heard of this and even saw a couple in a truck magazine quite some time ago, I also remember reading a Q&A in that (or similar) magazine a short time later and that company folded.  I don't read 'em, but check in a mini truck magazine, they (mini-truckers) do tons of that kind of stuff.  Good luck.

there was a company years back that offered what they called a limo back glass. it did allow you to lower the glass like a blazer tailgate glass. these units were kinda pricey for their day, (something in the $500 range and we're talking early 80's). they consisted of a completely new glass, frame, seals, power motor and switch. i don't remember them being around long, but trucks were really just getting started good as customs. you might try some back issues of TRUCKIN' say 79 to 81. i do seem to remember them doing an install piece on one. if you wanted to try a blazer rear unit you'll need the intire rear section but with a removable top a surburban tail section might be a better option. good luck    tim b.
