You should go back there and get the cab, then come back here, take the caps lock off your keyboard, and tell us all about it.  ;D

I hope you have Courtney Love's approval for your avatar or you may be looking at a lawsuit in the future. :D

Man, I never knew that was a factory option!  I had that idea a long time ago and thought it would be pretty unique.  I was planning on someday, when I've got my truck torn apart, adapting a power rear window mechanisim from a Blazer or Sub.  But it would be a major undertaking (at least for me) to get it to fit right and seal.

We had this discussion a while back and someone said it was common in Mexican trucks. I want to see pix please and you should grab it. Maybe we can re-invent it.

Should hack the back of the cab off and send it to me so I can weld it into my crewcab project.  :P

It wasn't an option.  It was an aftermarket part.  Did it have 2 stationary side windows panels and the center wend down?  C R Lawrance made them a long time ago.

TAKE 880 NORTH GET OFF ON MOWRY RD GO EAST (LEFT) FOR ABOUT 2-3 MILES CROSS THE TRAIN TRACKS AND YOU ARE THERE.  AND THEY HAVE LOTS OF TRUCKS ALSO THE ONE IN MODESTO, THATS WHERE I GOT 2 SETS OF THOSE ELECTRIC MIRRORS

East from 880 N is right, not left. Its West. Mowry has a good selection? The Berryessa lot has a better selection than on Monterey Rd. Of course, its alot bigger.
