H3T rear window roll down conversion

[Eddie Omegax]

Is it possible? Or a slider window add on? I like my dogs to be able to look inside the cabin when they are tied to the back of the truck, otherwise does anyone have a snugtop slantback cover for sale near san diego? Thanks guys !

For an electric roll-down window...Hit the junkyards and find a totaled pick-up that already has one. I personally think it would be much easier to graft-on the rear cab wall from another truck, than to try and design a sliding window from scratch. It doesn't really matter what truck...Ford, GM, Toyota, etc. As long as it has a similar size and contour. It actually sounds like a pretty simple mod, if you can find the right donor truck. You will need to remove the H3T bed from the frame...but after that you should have full access to the rear wall of the cab. Could be as simple as a cut, trim & weld the new wall (with the electric slider) into place. Then paint and put the bed back on.

For the manual sideways slider...you can probably go to a custom truck accessories shop and find one. Or at least one that is slightly larger so you can cut it down to size.

If you put on a snugtop you'll just have 2 panes of glass instead of one, it doesn't go right up against the cab.

Yeah...if you run a topper, you can get one of those inflatable donuts. Its like an inter-tube that gets sandwiched vertically between the cab and the topper...you blow it up and it seals the passage way between the two windows. Not the most handsome device but, cheaper than cutting & welding. They are designed for sliding windows but, I suppose it would still work if you removed the cab glass entirely. Obviously, you would need one that runs the full width of the glass.
