Largest rear slide window

Hey guys I'm trying to get ideas on what kind of different rear slide Windows there are. I know our Dent sides can be replaced up to a 96 rear window.
The biggest thing I'm trying to find is one with a very large rear slide window opening
The bigger the slide window the better hell if it's 40% of the back window I'd be happy as a pig in ****

Me and the family just went to the next state for Memorial Day and on the road trip me and the wife realize that it'd be nice to have a a little more than a curtain separating us an the kids in the bed and usin the front for when they start getting loud and annoying

I always figured the rear window only needed to open far enough for the person with the ice chest to hand the other person a cold beer.

The glass is thinner on the 1980/96 & 1997 F250 H/D & F350 sliders and the 3 pieces of glass have the same specs for all 1973/97's.

Yeah wasn't having any luck finding anything on here about larger openings for window sliders
So I found a I found a CLR Duo vent 4 panel window slider Googling around the internet
It's passed through is 19 and a half by 14 inches that's going to be more than big enough

In the mid 90's there was a company that made roll down windows for full sized Fords like the new Toyota trucks have. Went all the way across the back so the whole window rolled down.

I totally had no idea there was even a power window conversion you could do for the rear one that's brilliant man thanks!
I'll have to see how much work it would take to make that happen but that's a great idea

In the 1980's, FoMoCo offered a dealer installed power window kit for the back window of Super Cabs.

But within a few years, it was obsoleted, as the kit didn't sell worth a hoot.

FYI the 78/79 Bronco's had a pretty bad time of being a reliable working back window. Wiring, switch, motor, design ???

Having a working back window was very much a selling point. No window go down, no tail gate open.
