You're going to have to buy new rubber anyhow so just use a box cutter to cut the old rubber to facilitate the glass removal. That's what I did on mine and had NO problem removing the old glass without damaging it.

Any Supercab model from 74-79 will work (the Supercab model came out in '74). By "dark tinted", if you mean smoked tint, that's aftermarket. From the factory, Ford only offered the light green tint.

X2 on any 74-79 2wd or 4wd F150, F250 or F350 that is a SC, nothing newer will work.

They do not sale the replacement pop out window parts, just the glass and both style seals. Hinges and lock/un-lock levers are JY items I do believe.

How do you know that without seeing what he had? His might of been in perfect shape to reuse. I've removed the back and front glass plenty of times and reused the OE rubber. There is no need to take a razor knife to either of those.

The rubbers were shot so it did not bother me to cut them
