When I got a new window, the tech said he's seen hundreds of these trucks, and that the large door windows are the best ones to break if you have to. At about $140, I wouldn't recommend it, but it's way cheaper than the vent window. He said that's the most expensive one on the truck for two reasons: it's small with more precise angles/cuts so it requires more attention when making it, and it's the most commonly broken window so Ford decided to raise the price... he said the cheapest one he's ever seen replaced new was $400, and he's seen as much as $700 for one. So if you HAVE to break one, pick a big one! Lol
Which one's cheaper / more available at the junkyard? Which one's easier to remove from a junk truck? Those are the more pertinent questions.

Just pull the button with one and the latch with the other.

I'll have to check into this magic tool, cause my 94 has a plastic lid on it.
If you have power locks, you're doing it the hard way.

There's not any good junkyards within 100 miles of me,and I know they're getting harder and harder to find though.

Perhaps another reason, if it ever came to it, to choose the wing window. I doubt any remote boneyard would be willing to ship the large door glass, but they might put a wing window in a box and ship it. Everybody's sitch is different.
