Hey, does anyone know if all of the 1979 f250 supercabs came with the threaded inserts for the optional pop-out windows? My truck has them and I was wondering if mine ever had the pop out windows.

 

The rear side windows? No, pop out windows were an option and were not stock on all supercabs.

 

Thanks, but I think at one time my truck had the pop out windows and one of the previous owners replaced them with the standard ones. ( I found some of the pop out ones in a junk yard and when I took a look at how I was going to mount them I noticed that the paint was brighter than the rest of the cab in the exact shape of the latch that mounts to your cab.) I need to find someone with a 1973-1979 Custom Supercab to tell me if their truck has the threaded inserts.

 

I guess I misread your post. I thought you were asking if pop out windows were stock. I buzzed right past the threaded inserts part.

 

Welcome to FTE

D4TZ10302A02A .. Retainer, Quarter Window Latch.

While Ford calls this a retainer, it's actually a threaded shouldered insert with a round head.

One of these per side.
----------------------
D4TZ10302A06A .. Spacer, Use with the above (2 of these parts per side).

The insert fits through these two spacers, then through the following:

D2FZ7330212A .. Insert, Use with the above (1 per side).

What you need to see is the following;

1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog // Body Illustration Section 200, Page 13.

The entire movable quarter window is shown with all the attaching parts.

FTE member jermafenser has this catalog on a CD, can scan and post this illustration.

You can get your own catalog, as it's available from hipoparts.com for around 25 bucks.

btw: Supercabs were introduced in 1974.

 

 

Hey thanks alot for the diagrams. Those also help because when I took the windows out of the junkyard I broke the plastic hindges now I've got a part number on them. I got the windows and latches $45.00!

 

The parts catalog illustration (diagram) only shows partial part numbers.

Compare the three part numbers I typed in post #5 to the basic part numbers shown in the above illustration.

Is this what you broke? =

D5FZ73303A12A .. Quarter Window Hinge Retainer-Plastic. Shown as 303A12 in the above illustration.

Note: These are not the same parts as D2FZ7330212A.

All these parts are Obsolete = No longer available from Ford.

D5FZ73302A12A = GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati has ONE = 800-543-4959.

No Ford Dealer, no other obsolete parts vendor has any, but...

These same hinge retainers were also used on the quarter windows of 1972/80 Pinto & Mercury Bobcat station wagons.

 

Thanks, but what I broke is shown as 302A12. when I pulled the windows form the junkyard the plastic was sun rotted, there wasn't much I could do. Do I just need to go to a glass shop and see if they have a way to mount these windows or do you know of where I can order some these retainers from?

 

Just adding this to my list
