Blazer sliding window - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Livrat · 11-11-2010, 10:12 PM

Just picked this top up off of Craigslist, I had heard of aftermarket slider windows but had never seen any.. Has anyone else seen these or similiar?

rsavage · 11-11-2010, 10:40 PM

Never saw them before. I like them - sort of like the old Suburban sliders.
PS- Nice find!

1972CST · 11-11-2010, 10:54 PM

Those look like a rear sliding window for a truck... same concept but made for a blazer.

Yes they are exactly like a truck rear slider, same channels, latches etc, just a different shape.

FoxHound · 11-11-2010, 11:25 PM

that's actually a really good idea....i wonder why they didn't come like that from the factory.

I was at a junkyard monday that had a 73 and up blazer with sliders. Anyone know if they will fit a first gen top? It looks very similar.

BlazinC5 · 11-12-2010, 12:09 AM

I seen a first gen blazer on a cover for a catalog. I think it was AirRide technologies. One of them had the slider windows and it looked bad a$$. I think I need a set of them too.

I do not think they will fit...

RED72blazer · 11-12-2010, 01:11 AM

Oh man! that's a great find. I've been looking for a set for years. I've seen 1 truck locally that had them and I have a bunch of pictures of them on different trucks.

I know that the 73+ blazer windows don't fit....though I've thought that I might Mod a top to accept them.

Livrat, do you want to let those windows go?

At this time I am going to hold onto them.

They do not fit I have some.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 11-12-2010, 09:18 AM

Very hard to find I have only seen pictures of them. Let me know if you want to sell them.

bouncytruck · 11-12-2010, 01:20 PM

I've seen pictures of a couple of different styles of rear window sliders. Most I've seen have one sliding part. These would be great for a daily driver. My 4 year old son is always asking me why the back windows don't open.

**pound41** · 11-12-2010, 07:00 PM

Back in 72 I remember here in Northern VA they were quite common. I was only 7 but my Dad had several friends with 72 blazers that we went camping in. They all had them. Too young and my Dad is gone to find out where they came from. Nice Find

bigeasycigars · 11-12-2010, 07:05 PM

Sold a top with sliders a few months ago to Clezski. It's an old aftermarket kit I believe and they work well. He'll second that I think. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=416492

bigeasycigars · 11-12-2010, 07:12 PM

Here are a couple of photos my old top.

blazerdog · 11-16-2010, 02:32 PM

I bought a double wall top with sliders. Will they fit in my single wall top?

hoopty-cuztom · 11-16-2010, 05:57 PM

they might work good for some air flow, but man they are ugly on there IMO

Exactly my thoughts - they mess up the clean look the blazer has.

cleszkie · 11-16-2010, 08:05 PM

I bought Bigeasycigars top with the sliders. Love it. Really helps cool the interior down and perfect for people in the back to dangle an arm out of. Ugly...I don't think so. I actually like the aluminum frame

For those that have or want these, beware that you must get the rubber gasket with it. It is much different that the gasket for either single or double wall tops with plain glass.

SeventyOne · 11-16-2010, 08:45 PM

To each their own - You obviously like the look and function, but it isn't a mod I would make on my Blazer.

1ATony · 11-17-2010, 04:14 PM

I think they look kinda cool

red71cheyenne · 11-17-2010, 05:07 PM

I like them. I think they add to the Old School charm.

stomper · 11-17-2010, 05:28 PM

There's a set on Portland OR Craislist today.
