Odd rear cab glass

The 77 I just bought has this odd rear glass accessory. PO didn't know any thing about it so I'll let the gurus here help me identify it. I think it is cool in the fact that the tempered glass actually bends in the middle when you unlatch either side. I didn't have any luck googling the letters etched on the lower rear of the glass but hopefully someone can help. Thanks, here's pics of the glass and latches.

Re: Odd rear cab glass

They were popular in the 80s, but I don’t remember the manufacturer

Had one on my 83 back in the day. Picked it up at a truck parts store, useless for anything but the cool factor.

Same here. Found that window useless and went back to the factory slider.

Looks like the LeVan Flex-Thru window!

Another reason I took it off was the ease to break into the truck.

Re: Odd rear cab glass

Thanks for the help identifying my odd rear glass. I'm going to keep it on as it is unique and I'm sure I'll get a lot of questions about it at shows and cruise ins.

Re: Odd rear cab glass

I had one in my 83.5 Nissan and loved it! It is the LeVan Flex Thru!

Re: Odd rear cab glass

I'd like to find latch parts for this odd ball glass but I didn't have any luck googling the manufacturer name. Any one having another idea or source would be appreciated

Re: Odd rear cab glass

I don't think the company is around anymore but the latch from an extended cab glass or an old Toyota or Datsun car rear side glass might work.
