Rear window roll down kit... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just wondereing if there's anybody out there that makes a kit for my truck (71 C10) that will let me roll the back glass window down? I saw a mini truck on the net with this done and liked it. Plus I sometime do shows and like the idea of having something different than everyone else.

They make such a kit for a '31 Ford Model A (it was a mid year factory option).

You could probably adapt something like that to work. It was basically the addition of a glass track on either side of the window, plus a manual window regulator, covered with the production back panel trim.

the station wagon can make it electric and the job is not hard.

I am going to make a rear window that pops out at the bottom on my 68. The idea is the same as the side windows on an Astro van. I have the rear window cut, tempered, and drilled already for the install.
