kramttocs Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 No The factory slider frame is 3/4" thick (or more) Aftermarket sliders use a skinny flange that fits in a single pane (fixed glass) gasket I can't confirm but according to the info I found at FTE, for those early years, they do From earlier in this thread- http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Rear-slider-gasket-tp54569p54781.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Which early years, Scott? Mid 80's and my '87 -for sure- don't fit in a solid glass gasket. I thought that the 1980 and maybe 1981 factory aluminum sliders fit in a plain window gasket. This is the one in my 1980. I haven't pulled it yet, but I thought they had a flat flange that was the same size as the factory plain glass. The whole window sticks outside of the cab/gasket.

kramttocs Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm done If due to the brevity of my post - no offense intended at all. Was rushing out the door and didn't want to leave you hanging. Copying from that table though (since that's the only reference I have): D3TZ-1042084-A: For Solid Window without chrome trim. 1973-1979 and Factory Slider: 1973-1981. Editing as this thread popped in my head tonight and bothered me: I want to emphasize that I meant no disrespect with that post -again, was just wanting to provide a quick response but in text there is no arguing how it came out and even I have trouble reading it in the way I intended it. You have my apologies Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be great info to have [when you pull it] - I have a factory aluminum one in the shop I can check out when I get home but pretty sure it's the thicker (thus later) one.

I dont have my truck anymore to look at, but on a FTE post, a guy had a picture of the top of a slider that was a solid and flat piece that completely embedded in the gasket. GRRRR well forget my post from earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRRRR well forget my post from earlier today. Right. I have a factory 1995 SRW here waiting to go in the 1980, and I have a factory 1996 SRW in my 1984. It is the style that sits completely inside the window gasket. I don't know anything about the 1980-1981 SRW and gasket, but I'll probably be pulling it out this summer, so I'll post up some pics when I do. I can check it this weekend to see how it fits.

I have a power slider from a 1996 in Darth, I paid the glass installer that Pete's uses to do it and left Darth's tinted fixed window with them for stock.
