Rear window replacement question
Hey guys, I'm from the bricknose/IDI section, but I have a 1978 F150 as a farm truck. It is a regular cab long box with a sliding rear window (silver frame).
This is why I'm here; loading fire-wood a while back I tossed a stick in the bed and it bounced and smashed the glass right behind the driver's head. The two small windows that make up the slider are fine, as well as the piece of glass behind the passenger's head, just the driver's is completely broken.
I'm wondering if I can just replace that single piece behind the driver's head without disturbing anything else too much, or if it would just be easier to get a junkyard rear window and new seal?

Thank you guys for the responses! LeviD I'm in central Alberta lol a little ways away.
All up to 1996? It shouldn't be too hard to find one now that I know that.
To the junk yard I go then, thanks guys!
