It's not original, no trucks came with sunroofs from the factory at this time.

Is it a power slider or a hand crank operated unit? If it's a slider, these were made by American Sunroof, who installed them for dealers and customers alike. If it's a crank type, it may be the same type used in 1974 and later Mustangs.

A picture will be a big help.

Worst case, and last resort, I would take it to a shop that installs sunroofs, and ask for a replacement.
