M1009 Blazer side window with sliding glass

[K9Vic]

Was looking at a M1009 Blazer today and noticed the side rear window on the topper has a sliding glass with a small pop-out glass. I have look at allot of them on GSA and GL and never noticed this. My friend that was with me was in the military and drove one had never seen one before. Has anyone here seen this and was it an option, or some custom job?

Standard factory slider option. For some reason some m1009s have them. Maybe the later ones... I just bought a set to replace my solid ones. Keep my K-9 buddies cool in the summer...

They had one at Jefferson CIty when I picked mine up. I asked about it and I think it was Westech that told me they replaced broken windows with sliders cheaper than they cold buy the glass. I think it would be a great asset in the summer with no a/c. Glen

My M1009 has one in it... I'm in the process of replacing it with a standard window...

My '86 has one, drivers side only.

Passenger side on mine. The back seat riders sure appreciated it in summer.

Any thoughts on where to get replacement runners for the slider?

If anyone needs a drivers side solid glass let me know. I have a BUNCH of them. They are listed in the classifieds.

Tinted Glass

As soon as it warms up around here I will be installing factory tinted sliders I have laying around in my M1009. I just got the factory tinted rear glass from a dude in Mass and will be installing it tomorrow.

These Blazers are HOT in the summer and the small investment in real glass, not tint, should pay off.

Backblast vent for launching an AT-4 from the backseat through the passenger window in the front seat. I thought everyone knew that.

That actually makes more sense,....... or perhaps it just sounds cooler.

 

[A3superdeuce]

I bought a set of them out of a wrecking yard and installed them as I remember how hot it got in the back during the summers in the field

If anyone has a set to sell or just one I'll buy it.

There was a PS article about the sliding windows listing part numbers so some units were able to order and install the windows at the unit level. I never saw a 1009 in service with the windows, but then I was AF and the trucks were mostly in the Army.

Later,
Joe

If someone ends up with a driver's side slider I need one. It was broken out when I got it from GL and I replaced it with a standard window I already had.

There is a guy on craigslist in Mass named Mike. He has a couple sets of sliders, tinted and clear, for a great price. Give him a call and tell him Phil in Tennessee sent you!

Do you have any side door glass?

 

[NICK_M1009]

If someone is looking for sliding rear glass maybe check your local junkyard. They have to come from a civi BLAZER or so I've heard. The suburban does not fit.

Do you have any side door glass?

No, only the driver side rear quarter glass.

 

[nattieleather]

Any auto glass shop should be able to install the door glass and the tail gate glass. If it's an independent company (i.e. not safelite or PPG etc) they should be willing to sell you the glass less install for the DYI guys. The local Glass Doctor here in Cleveland will also sell used auto glass. He buys old vehicles and has his guys remove the all the glass except the windshields and stores it and then sells it for half the price of new glass. So check with your local guy and see what he has to offer. But on a CUCV glass should be easy to get.

Mine came from G.L. with a pass. side sliding glass & a drivers side solid. I just figured it was a replacement.I was working up at flint truck & bus assy. in the 80s & don't remember ever seeing any come down the line. I was a layout insp. there & kinda wish i payed a little more attention to em back then, but hey... I'm suffering with c.r.s. & have what i like to call a few "senior moments" anyway. John
