    I need to know as soon well. It'll be a ton easier to get a rear window if so.

    I don't know the actual answer of whether or not it's the same glass through the years - but the PO of my truck was a glass guy and he said he simply had new rear glass cut to the truck. One of the reasons I bought the truck was all brand new glass and gaskets. In the rear he put in a slightly gray tinted solid glass, not clear. Gave me a spare slider maybe from a parts truck too. The gasket is a fairly universal looking gasket that may or may not be in a kit form somewhere.

    69-74 rear window will work. '75-78 was a larger cab.

    75-78 the cab got longer, yes -- but did it get wider too?

    Should be the same width. Unless they decided to change the glass itself for some dumb reason

    Not sure. Better to measure existing glass and compare to replacement. 69-74 will fit. 75+ I would measure before buying.

    I wasn't able to take a measurement but after looking at a side-by-side of my 71 next to a friend's 75 (I think), The size and shape look almost identical.
