Rear Windows

I just bought a 78 F-150 with a 400 cid engine and everything seems to work alright except for the rear window. The previous owner put a sliding glass window in and it leaks. I'd like to replace it. Will other model's rear windows fit or do I have to find a 78?

Thanks in advance

73-79 will fit for sure, even F250's & F350's, the rest of the years may but I will leave that to someone who knows for sure to say yes or no

The rear windows from '73-'96 will work, as I just put one out of my wrecked '84 4wd into my '78 (it had a crappy slider, w/o any seals left on the sliding pains!!) Thanks, Doc

You can also get electric sliders from a company called C.R. Lawrence

Thanks everyone. The rear slider that is in the truck now actually had moss growing in the track when I bought it. It's a shame to treat such a great truck so lousy.

Thanks and happy Memorial Day
