"...your saying this sliding and vent both is rare ?..."
more correctly (also as stated, here repeated)
the slide is 1 yr only - oem, no? ('79). The vent is only in a specific package. Do not follow 2nd gen well. Not sure name of the package - it can B seen in the red/white here on these pages.
At the 'round ups' I C few of either, almost -0- w/the vent, anecdotally supporting the above statement...

Yo Chris,
The former sliders aftermarket supplier CL Laurence Inc. (CRL) stopped production a few years
ago. They sold them to body shops, etc.
LMC was their prime seller to consumers such as us.
They don't list any stock.
So, my term, "obsolete" applies in this case. For obsolete parts, I refer folks to a yard search such as:
For a YARD SEARCH on-line, I use;
Hollander Quality Replacement Parts | Find Used Auto Parts | Online Locator
A yard that uses Hollander Interchange can search other yards and have it shipped including some Canadian yards.
"...For over eighty years, Hollander has been making the best tool for fast, interchangeable part matches. The new Edition Hollander Interchange contains more interchangeable options than ever before.
The Hollander Interchange provides auto recyclers and auto collectors, rebuilders, and others with the easiest and most comprehensive solution for identifying interchangeable auto parts..." See their yard Directory @ Seller Directory | Used Auto Parts | Hollanderparts
Can select a certain part.
If a specific part isn't listed, search again for the next higher assembly, such as in this instance, the

Pull-A-Part SEARCH INTERCHANGEABLE PARTS INVENTORY, @ SEARCH INTERCHANGEABLE PARTS INVENTORY--------Thank alot Mike. This will be a big help for alot of people. I HEARD that is is a guy in Urbacon,W.Va (Webster Co.) That has alot of Ford truck. Different years(yes some old ones too) Its not too far from me. When I get a few running bug out miles on the bronco. I,ll take a trip down their and look him up. Find out some information and see about taking some pictures. A friend told me the guy is really nice and you mention Ford--he opens up and is real knowledgeable about anything old on Fords. I think he said he even has some old Ford tractors.

Years ago I was interested in putting a set in mine. What stopped me was that they are all clear glass. I like my factory tint more. If they had been an option being factory tint, they would've been installed years ago. Bad enough I have to tint the rear tailgate and doors again

Does anyone know for sure if the 3rd gen tops with the sharp corners fits the 2nd gen? The junkyard photo makes it difficult to tell if it would really sit tight since it isn't quite positioned right.
