Cab13 rear sliding window weather stripping

[T Creighton]

I had to completely rebuild the back of my F30 cab.
A friend loaned me a Chev rear window frame and slide in good condition for a pattern so I made 2 slides and 2 frames 1 to weld into the back of the cab and 1 to bolt on over the track. I couldn't find any suitable track( all available stuff was too wide) so I fitted some single track over each of the slides and fitted a flat division between the two halves of the frame. That gave me two steel tracks. I works very well but unfortunately does not look original. A bonus was that I could drill some drain holes to the outside. Most rear windows I have seen have rusted badly because the rain gets between the track and the steel frame.
The frames were a bit tricky to make out of "Z" shape panel steel I had folded up. Some old diff carrier bearing cups were the exact radius of the frame corners and made a great welding jig.
