ALL 1973/79 F100/880's use the same clear or tinted back window glass.

I thought I read somewhere that 80'- early 90's will fit as well, any truth to that?

The 1980 and later glass is a bit thinner than 1973/79.

I found a solid glass in a 76' today, will head back and grab it. Thanks for the info.

I love this site. Many thanks to you, NumberDummy. I don't know you but you've answered at least a dozen questions for me over the last year.

Thinner glass
Does the thinner glass present a problem? Too loose to use? My 79 needs a new back glass and I haven’t found many donors to plunder.

Old thread.... My understanding is the thinner glass needs the matching seal for thinner glass. Use the one from the donor if possible. If not new replacement seal for the year of the vehicle taking the glass from.
