Rubber seals for back windows
Hi all.
i just wanted to start a post on tips and tricks anyone may have .
specifically on 73-79 trucks.
there are probably a lot of people that have something to share.something new 73 - 79 owners might not know.
like rear glass from 73 to 96 fits.
Or that seats from up to a 96 are bolt ins
just want to pick all your brains really

Will the rubber seal for a 77 work for glass up to 96 or do you need a specific seal for the year model which you get the glass from? The reason I ask is because I just ordered a weather strip kit for my 77 and it includes the rear window seal. Will this seal work any rear window glass up to 96?
I want to put a tinted sliding back glass in my truck, but would prefer to put a new rubber seal on the window rather than mess with the old seal. Where is a good source for the seals for these old trucks?
TIA
BTW - I found a really good write up about changing the rear glass, but it looks like they used the seal from the donor truck:

With 32 years on it, rest assured it does. And you say it's shot.
There are only cosmetic differences on the seals. Lower trim levels get an all-black seal. Higher level trims get the chrome insert in the middle.

Yep, this is correct, i am about to do the same up grade with my 77 F150 Explorer custom. I am looking at getting the window and seal from LMC TRUCK. I just don't care about the $20 over size fee they all charge, but I fugure I only have to do it one time!
