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

How can you tell if a rear slider is stock or aftermarket? Mine says Pasport on the latch.
Thanks

My '71 4x4 has a Passport slider I had installed many years ago. Still have the original box it came in which has about 3-4 solid back glass windows for safe keeping storage. Bought the window at a local farm/ranch suppy that carried some automotive items. Hope that helps in your question.

Thanks, did GM mfg their own or sub them out? Would a OEM have a part #?

I have 2 originals that I pulled out of trucks that stated rear slider on the glove box spid. They are up in my attic and I don't believe they have a part number on them. I think they subbed them out. Mine screw together in the lower corners but have heard of some being welded together in the lower corners

How can you tell the difference between OEM and aftermarket? The marking on the glass maybe?

**special-K** · 04-24-2012, 09:36 AM

I'd have to dig one out and look for specific differences. But,as I recall,no brand is on them and they al had a chrome metal latch. The glass won't be LOF as these are actually a jobber's product,not GM. They are more of a GM authorized accessory that became also available as an option. "All" trucks cane through with a solid back window,then was switched "on the factory lot" by a vendor before the truck was loaded for transport. I have had '72s with the slider on the SPID. Does anyone know of prior years having one listed?

Here's a couple I've had:

**RenoKeene** · 04-24-2012, 05:01 PM

I have one from a scrap cab and trying to ID it as repop or oem...No SPID.

My '71 has the slider on the SPID, I'll try to upload a pic when I get how just for entertainment purposes.

MW826 · 05-17-2012, 11:55 AM

I'm not sure if the slider on mine now is OE or a repro, I would also be interested in specific markings, if any, pics are always helpful too.

**RenoKeene** · 05-17-2012, 01:13 PM

Yes, if someone knows they have a oem slider check it out, sofar I still don't know how to tell the difference, except if it says Passport on it then it is aftermarket, or did Passport sell to GM also?
