Sliding window on 86 Silverado - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Chris' 86 · 10-19-2011, 04:28 PM

I learned the hard way that there are two different types of sliding rear windows. I need a deluxe window in order to keep the proper seal and lock strip for the Silverado trim level. I ordered a window from Classic Parts, and realized after I got it that it was a standard window. Is there any company that sells the deluxe window? Or can the standard be modified to fit? Any help would be appreciated.
