I only have one gas door like that. THat window is not factory my grandfather put it in like a month after he got it. I was wondering why the stock one piece rear window doesn't fit
Hmph looks like your Gramps was able to get ahold of a Factory Dual Slider then, cause that's the same one my truck came from the Factory with, same with my Father's '76 C-20 Silverado :-\  No Worries though.  As for the window being larger than the Solid Glass, I would take your truck along with the new rear window to an Auto Glass Shop and ask them.   A quality Shop will answer your questions for of charge, in hopes of getting your Buisness for that project, or later down the road...

If you have an original glass from any 73-87 pickup all you need is the gasket for it to make it work in the truck.

man i happen to have the same double slider in my 77 chevy. i had just put it in a few weeks ago you are able too use the same gasket  if it is the stock one. as long as you dont split it trying to pull it out. i like it and i dont have any problems with it leaking or anything, but doesnt mean i wont in the future. thats a pretty nice truck you got there overall.

that must have been a factory-original 1/2 ton then.  they never made a 3/4 ton SWB back then.  heck, they've NEVER made a SWB regular cab 3/4 ton except those super short trucks for airport tug trucks.  i had a '78 similar to that...
ironic thing is, your "80" seems to have a '78 front end (round headlights, 78-79 grille) and my '78 had an '80 grille, lol...
