Tinted rear glass

Was tinted rear glass an available factory option for the small window '67?
If so, was it a dark tint or the light green. Thanks

Re: Tinted rear glass

It should be a green tint. I have seen trucks with factory tinted rear windows, but I don't think that I have seen a 67 small window tinted in person.

Re: Tinted rear glass

I do Leadfoot. I probably will have mine tinted when I pull it to paint if I don't locate one. How can you help?

Re: Tinted rear glass

They're the same as the rest of the factory soft-ray tint..I grabbed one from a 67. Still have it stored away here somewhere..it's the only small window factory glass I have seen for myself. So they did exist.

Re: Tinted rear glass

well its real easy to get this done,any glass shop that does house glass can have this part made,take them you old one for a pattern,tell them you want a new tempered one made and how dark you want it.i think the darkest i could find when i had my others made was 31% which is relatively light grey tint...also because its a back window i can also be made from 1/4 laminated and it also comes green tint or grey 31% most shops dont stock the dark lam though and it cost more than having a tempered part made....
