Solid back window or slider??????

[78 Chevyrado]

I've had both and I like the solid glass for a clean look but love a slider for no AC and for driving by chicken coops.

its too bad you dont live in florida or it would be a done deal!!!

That damn geography thing gets in the way of me getting parts every single time LOL

i have a slider... its handy for when you lock your keys in the truck!

replace the chrome welting with black and paint the frames black.
with a deep tint is the next best thing to a solid...

I'm voting for a solid,Every time I opened mine the grit from what ever I hauled last would swirl around until you hit the right speed and then blow in the cab.Sawdust was the worst and sand a close second

def. solid.... looks cleaner. sliders are practically useless....unless you like eating dust, or whatever else was left in the bed! I changed mine from a slider.... not easy to find one up here... every truck around seems to have a slider and no a/c! The only thing beter than a slider is that flush mount back glass! ....that is sic!

Solid power retractable back glass. Best of both worlds. I've got one in storage STILL awaiting a new home to be installed in. And no, it's not for sale.

I actually don't have a slider. I have a solid. I say a slider because I have no A/C I've seen them that had screens in them to keep the trash from flying in. Anyone seen those?

No kidding. And I forgot the time someone got in through the vent window and made off with a Surefire light laying on the seat. The time they stole the back glass too was the only event at home, not to much you can do when you're out.

Solid all the way!!!

I like them both I really like the sliders on the 82 and newer front ends and then I bought my 78 and I really like the solid back window now I don't know why it just looks clean.

same here. i have solid one, but sometimes wish i had i slider so i could talk to people when they are riding in the back

i like the look of the slider which i have in my 85 . my 88 has a solid but picked up a free slider for it a while back . i live in a low crime area so breaking in not really and issue . dont have a/c in the 88 but would be a pain to keep opening and closing it in a crew cab as you cant reach it from the front seat .

have you guys seen the Flush Fit back glass ?

The cab that I swapped had a slider already in it but mssing the latch so I ordered a latch kit from G.M. partsgiant. It wasn't exactly cheap and its made of plastic?? Holy crap!
Well it fit but if I use it much I don't think the plastic hinge will hold up long.

I may change the slider out later I dunno.

Is there not a metal lock kit for the slider?
