Three Piece Slider that fits 73-87's?

I love my sliding rear window but hate the 4 piece design. I would LOVE a 3 piece if I could find one, but they all seem to be for an 88 and up. Anyone know where to find one for these trucks?

Re: Three Piece Slider that fits 73-87's?

my bosses truck has one, it was on the truck when he got it, i dont know if its the factory window or not, but the truck came factory with a sliding window

its hard to make out the window in the pic but it is definitely a 3 piece:

SOO jealous!
I wish there was an aftermarket one that wasn't a power slider, they're cool, but expensive.

Re: Three Piece Slider that fits 73-87's?

Myself, I've got an even older model power back glass that's awaiting the arrival of a new home to reside in. Only this one retracts down behind the seat. It too was made by CR LAURENCE many moons ago.

Re: Three Piece Slider that fits 73-87's?

I have a power slider from C.F. Laurence that I installed in 1991 and never hooked the power to. One of these days....

Re: Three Piece Slider that fits 73-87's?

Perhaps we could contact C.R. Laurence automotive and get a group buy/re release thing with them on the Tri-Vent sliding windows? I would buy a couple.
