Anyone make a rear safari window for a C10?
I was thinking about putting one together for summer.

I've never heard of a safari window what is it ?

Vova · 02-24-2014, 08:38 PM

Something like this but for the back.

Vova · 02-26-2014, 02:13 AM

Anyone?

There is a guy on FB made his own. He has a very unique truck. Manny bosser. Maybe you can look him up.

Might as well hook a hose up to the tailpipe directly

nobolt · 02-28-2014, 05:13 AM

the early Chevy/GMC vans had these on the sides. they only popped out 2" or so. (but maybe an idea for period correct hardware)

Andy4639 · 02-28-2014, 08:34 AM

That's pretty wild. I like it but I think the Tundra back glass would be nicer.
