Sliding rear glass for half cab ?

[JedDaniel]

has anyone ever seen or heard of a sliding rear glass for a half cab top? I would like to have one in mine. thanks for any info.

That would even be cool for a full-size top.

The only ones i have seen were for the side glass.. usually if you drive with the rear window out ( on a soft top ) the exhuast fumes really come in ..

No one sells them, but there was a guy that built one from a Toyota window and modified the frame to fit a half cab opening.

A friend of mine took a full top and cut it down to a half cab so he could open the lift gate.

If you can operate a hacksaw & either a pop-riveter or TIG, you should be able to cut down an '80-96 rear slider frame, make it fit in the halfcab gasket (probably by pop-riveting a lip onto the frame), and then order tempered glass panels (from any glass shop) to fit your construction.



Take LOTS of pics!

I have no idea how this was done, but I have a modified half cab that has a sliding rear window.

%) What do the seams between the steel around the window & the original cab look like? Is it possible the back was cut out of another truck & then screwed/riveted/glued/welded into that cab?

I saw one where the guy took a rear window from a small pickup (ranger I think) and welded a panel in and cut out and installed the new slider. Looked really good.

Just noticed....pretty much like justinos pic.

I'd have to go look to see. The entire stock back panel and glass was removed. You can see that it is a flat back vs. the diagonal stock panel that slants in toward the seats. The bulkhead also goes straight down into the bed instead of slanting like a stock bulkhead. It's nice having that foot or so of storage space behind the seats in the cab.

I just noticed the roll bar penetrates the cab, too. I'm guessing that's why the bulkhead goes straight down.
