WTB 1973-1977 F150 Sliding Rear Track and Latch
 
Looking for the rear window sliding track and latch for a 73-77 f150.

Also looking for a non rusted locking mechanism for the bedside toolbox

You mean complete outer handle with key cylinder and inside latch for the tool box? Sliding track, you mean the bottom part the glass slides in with the black cats whiskers/felt that is INSIDE the frame?

i found the locking mechanism for the beside toolbox, but still the latch for the slider. And yes inside the frame.

Do you need the metal one or the plastic one? As far as the slider lock latch?

I need the Plastic slider

The plastic one is notorious for breaking. Changing over to a metal one is not that hard. Little screws versus rivets.

This would be the second plastic one that I have put on. If you have a metal one I’ll take it and give it a shot

I will have to get "off the road" and will look in my parts shed. I have so much of the little pieces and parts, hard to stay up with it all at times. You can always make some drop in lock rods. Take some 1/8 metal bar stock cut to the right length and use them to prevent the window from being slid open.

Or reverse that and make a 1" wide X length (what ever the total width of both sliders are) piece of stainless strap and bend each end with a 100* bend angle and clip on/lock the windows. Yes each idea is getto but works in a pinch.
