Title: Rear defrost?
Post by: 454ss on August 16, 2010, 04:35:37 am

I know 1988+ extended cabs and 1992+ crew cabs were offered with rear defogger, were the square body pick ups available with it?

now that you mention it I don’t think I ever saw a 73-87 but im sure I haven’t seen a 88-98 with it either so that doesn’t mean nothing

I can't recall ever seeing one either. But I'm pretty sure there are add-on rear defrosters available.

I came across a 1989-93 extended cab 3500 with what appeared to be factory rear defrost. The switch was the same as in a 1992-93 Blazer/Sub and had lines on the back window.

So i naturally wondered if the square bodied 1988-91 crew cabs had one optional...I'd add it if they did...Fieros had it, why not trucks?  ;D

Along the same lines, I need to see if there's a heated (and hopefully autodimming) mirror glass that will fit the factory power mirror housings.  8)

The 89-91 power mirror use the same glass/head as the 88-9? and Astro vans I believe, so if they are in those years you can swap them.
