Cheep Window
Hey all, I need a new back window for my '85 F-250, and was wondering if any of ya'll knew of a place, preferably here on the island that can do it for cheep. The truck has a rear slider window and the driver side piece is blown out. though a slider is not required, I dont need it. HELP ME OUT BROTHAS!!!!!

It's really easy to replace, you just pop out the window and rubber gasket in one piece with a pair of screwdrivers. If you ask in the 80-86 forum, they can give you more detailed directions.

Don't know what you consider cheep, but you might want to consider LMCtruck.com as they have tons of parts for Ford Trucks.

Thanks for the info guys, a slider is not required, I dont need it. What I think that I may do is go to the junk yard and pull one, how hard are they to pull?? I've heard that a screwdriver and some piano wire are good to use, but I've never done that...LOL

Be aware that hitting the raw edge of glass with metal will crack it, especially old glass.
Using piano wire is for cutting the un-saveable seals/gaskets, like around windshields. A heat knife works for that type Ok too.

I see- they shrunk the green truck 
Must have been thinking about my 84.
I think I have replaced the back glass in just about every truck I have had. I must be the only person in the US who dislikes sliders.

(For Islanders, the only place I know of is Christian's by the main base in Oak Harbor and their supply is low. "Chief's" garage on Sleeper Road sometimes has parts trucks. Lemme' know if anybody else opens a salvage yard on that end of Whidbey, 85_Ford_6.9L_4x4 .)
