Hello & Welcome to FTE!
I don't have time to run through it right now so,
Maybe do a search for *Door Window Swap* or *Remove Vent window* using our search feature.
Someone should be along soon to help you out further.

Champion, if you do a search you'll find several past posts about this but right now there are no companys who make a one piece window kit for the 73-79 Ford trucks (California window kits as the VW guys call them). They are available for all of the older trucks because they had a flat piece of glass whereas our windows have a slight curve to them. I have checked some local glass companies and they say they can get the glass but then you have to try and figure out the seals and possibly modify the mechanism/track. It looked like it was going to become quite an expensive project so I dropped it.
I would like to see a company start producing those. I think it would be a popular item as people HATE the whistling wing windows.

Champion, check out this link: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...B%25252Bslider
I contacted Vintage Windows via the link in there but they only do flat glass.
