i've got the fixed windows in my 71.
was thinking of changing them out to slide windows.
anyone know where to get them?

I don't know if there were any factory sliders, but I thought about building some. The problem is that the bottom and top of the glass aren't parallel. You'd have to have an aluminum frame to make up the difference, about 1" front to back.

last set I seen was on evilbay around a year ago and they sold for like $600 you dont see them very often.

IIRC, They were a aftermarket product, but you rarely see any for sale.

I'd like to have a pair too, but the few I've seen have been way too expensive. Someone usually makes a post if they find listing.

yap those windows are right up next to tow hooks in price.

Can you use the sliders from the second Gen, from 73 thru 01?

Not without some serious fabrication work. They're a different size.
