Does anyone know of a non tinted sliding rear window thats available? My 79 I just picked up is missing a few parts so I need to replace it. The only ones i am finding are dark tinted which I don't t think would look right on this truck. Any help is appreciated.

 

Some are darker than others but I don't think clear is an option. and your original was raw aluminum and I know that's not available anymore, so a dark frame with a clear window is not something most would want.

They really don't look that bad, in fact most people would prefer the darker tint. I looked for an NOS bright one for a long time and finally gave into the dark side when I couldn't find one.

 

That's some very good points sir. Do you have pics of your tinted one by chance?

 

Here are some pics of mine if that helps. I replaced my old clear aluminum slider in favor of this one.

 

Oh thats not bad at all. I was picturing almost pitch black so this helps alot. Beautiful truck also!

 

I'm not sure our truck will look good with a tinted back glass but i hate to get rid of the slider.

 

IMO it would look great. Kind of a personal prefrence thing though. Here is one similar colors to yours.

 

That's perfect actually. That just made my mind up. Thanks so much for the help sir.

 

I am happy with mine tinted. You have a great nice looking truck I have been looking for a set of those vent visors.

 

Thanks, I see your full crown vic swapped also. Can i ask what wheels/tires your on? Love the stance. I want something a little wider on mine, but these 2011 mustang wheels were free to get me driving it at least.

 

they are mustang wheels 2010 - 2014 fr500 style 18x9 with 235/50/18s on the front 18x10 with 295/40/18on the rear personally if I did it again I think I would goa little taller front and rear but same width. I got the rims cheap and wanted to see if the would fit, I would really like the same size and offset but same rims as the elenor mustang on gone in 60 seconds had.

 

That is the exact wheel setup I have been looking at is why i asked. I thought those were the Shelby wheels. I wasn't sure how bed clearance was on the rear though for 10" wheels but I'm running the 8.8 from the crown vic. Look up the American Racing VN507 wheels. I have them on my list as well as they would be the right offset and look like the vintage Eleanor wheels.

 

yea they are what I want someday in the pics I have a 8.8 from an explorer with 3 inch spacers so about 64 inches wide and they fit with room, now I have irs from a 2018 mustang in the back and I had to trim the lips on the rear fenders but they fit after that, The irs was quite a bit wider. Look threw this thread i beilve he rean the 17x10.5s in the rear with a crown vic axle. clifford
