Question-Rear Sliding Glass - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**w314speed** · 03-14-2010, 07:52 AM

What NOS rear glass weatherstrip was used with the factory sliding glass?

It appears that the one needed for the slider is the one w/o the trim molding?

Somebody out there knows!! Thanks, Dan

cdowns · 03-14-2010, 08:30 AM

depends weasther the truck in question came with or without the trim// you could get it either way

JimKshortstep4x4 · 03-14-2010, 09:41 AM

Are you asking about the actual window seal or the fuzzie that the sliding windows slide in?

Jim

**w314speed** · 03-14-2010, 09:38 AM

I understand you could get with trim and w/o. The question is what rear glass weatherstrip was used to install a rear slider? Thanks, Dan

**w314speed** · 03-14-2010, 09:56 AM

window seal

cdowns · 03-14-2010, 10:52 AM

if you have trim you use seal for trim if no trim you use seal for no trim

Not sure you can get an oem gasket for these anymore. I will do some more checking with our suppliers. So a NOS might have to be the way to go. We sell a replacement gasket(black Only) for the aftermarket sliders for $50.00. But its for replacing a oem plain window with the aftermarket slider. Not sure its the same as the factory slider

Is that a factory window? none of our suppliers (like 6) do not offer a rubber with the S/Stl trim.

I'm not sure Mike. It was in the truck when I got it. Is there a way to tell?

I don't know the differance between the factory and the aftermarket. I grew up with these trucks new and no one I knew had a slider cause all my friends and relatives had basic trucks. could not afford fancy stuff. Most I did see was in camper trucks and did'nt really look at them much. I am sure GM did not make them. One of their suppliers did I would guess. They may be the same as aftermarket one now.

My 68 SWB had a topper on it at one time also which is probably why they put the slider on. I've been looking for an aluminum topper to put back on it, but finding a period correct aluminum one is turning out to be difficult. If you need anymore pictures let me know.

I have always thought that the original sliding windows were the aluminum/stainless outlined windows, not the black ones. I have been known to be wrong once or twice though.

My original sliding back window has just the black seal,no stainless trim.I either got it from LMC or GMCpauls.Can't remember which.

John H. · 03-14-2010, 02:03 PM

Dan,

Here is what the Chevy book shows w/o stainless for a slider.

3940758 71-72 Ser 10 thru 30 (cab) w/sliding rear window
71-72 ser 10 thru 30(cab) (exc. C.C., C.S.)

3940756 71-72 Ser 10 thru 30 (Cab) W/C.C. C.S. (exc. sliding rear window)

If you need the WS wo stainless, I have an NOS I would sell for price of Repro.

John

My 72 super has a factory rear slider - SPID option number 1 A2810 Rear Window Sliding. The frame is aluminum with stainless steel trim normal to all supers. Doug

**71blksuper4x4** · 03-14-2010, 05:56 PM

See that is what I meant by my first statement. The factory sliding windows are stainless framed windows. The black framed windows are aftermarket windows. I do agree however that your upper trim package trucks would get the stainless trim weatherstrip, and the base models would get black rubber. Trevor

**chevy71super** · 03-15-2010, 12:56 AM

Right you are Trevor! Doug

**w314speed** · 03-15-2010, 05:35 AM

Guys, I appreciate all the info!!! It appears that the slider could have come both ways, with the parts book painting a different picture! I was always confused why? Chevrolet and GMC, actually GM as they did it in the cars as well, would each use different suppliers for the same part. I would guess the slider that will accept the ss trim allows clearance and the other dosen't. Thanks for everyones feedback and John H for the wonderful pics of your gorgeous 72 BB SG. I'll PM you on the seal. Thanks All, Dan
