Slider lock ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

colohusker · 08-09-2002, 01:10 AM

I'm going to pick up a factory sliding window from a 70 that I found in a yard, but it is missing the catch to keep them closed. Anyone know where I can get one, or anyone have a close up pic of one so that I can fab one close to it?

too bad the wife's got the digicam at her mom's place till' sunday....i'd get ya a pic of mine

I did have a 82 gmc once that had a latch that was really similar if memory serves correct...might be easier to find than one of these.

Chad,

That would be great whenever you get a chance. Considering there is nothing left of the latch on this one, I can't even begin to look at others to see if they are similar, but for $20 I can't pass it up.

Here are a couple of pictures of the lock on my 67. Not sure if it's a factory fitted option though. I would have thought that you should be able to pick something similar up from a good hardware store.

There are a lot of slider latches that will work on the sliders on the newer trucks. If you have a yard close by, take a look at the chevy trucks with sliders. I found one that was the same as the original slider on our 71 and it was on a 75 Chevy truck slider.

From what I have seen, slider latches are very common.

It's been about 6 years ago, but I bought my new latch at the GM dealership.

slam33 · 08-09-2002, 10:14 AM

Classic industries sells a later modle latch that looks and works on the factory window. It's a plastic one. If I remember right, Prestige was a dealer install, they made aftermarkets for lots of trucks. Prob some of the dealers were using them instead of the camper special factory one

bobs409 · 08-10-2002, 06:52 AM

Got mine from the "Help" section at Advance auto. It is black plastic and was listed for 73-up but fit perfectly. It comes with all the parts needed to install and was under $5.00

Lippyp · 08-11-2002, 12:05 PM

Are there any latches that actually lock so that if a window is smashed you can't open the whole slider?

O'l Buck · 08-11-2002, 06:21 PM

Scott, mine looks just like the one Lippyp posted, only it's black and doesn't say prestige.

lux hauler · 08-11-2002, 07:30 PM

here are some pics of my slider and option sheet..........as far as I know, this is a factory slider.........

lux hauler · 08-11-2002, 07:31 PM

slider

lux hauler · 08-11-2002, 07:31 PM

latch

lux hauler · 08-11-2002, 07:33 PM

you can see the name "Guardian" etched in the slider glass, just above the horn button

lux hauler · 08-11-2002, 07:36 PM

and my options......you can see the slider listed at the top on the right side......

bobs409 · 08-12-2002, 06:30 AM

That black latch looks exactly like the one I got from the Help section. The slider window looks just like mine and I believe it to be stock.
