rear window swap
hi folks, i don't like the fixed rear window on my XL trim truck so i want to know about swapping in one with a sliding panel. i think i know where to look for one in the junkyard. for this job, are there any complications to point out other than buying a new gasket? are the 80-86 rear windows sufficiently the same shape to fit too? were there just the two types, fixed and sliding?

1973/96 F100/350 & 1997 F250 Heavy Duty & F350.
1997 F150 & F250 L/D (Light Duty-same cab as F150) has a different back window.

I am pretty sure that is PLAINLY obvious, especially since the 97+ F150 windows bolt in and doesnt go in with a gasket like the 73-97 do

You know this and so do I, but how many others do?

Since the OP asked about the gasket, yes
