Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?
My personal opinion. If it's your work truck it's your second vehicle it's not your daily driver, it's not a road queen it's not a show Queen.

Yes, that's a good idea thanks. I was also thinking about some industrial plastic and have that cut to size. I was really hoping to find a place that specializes in restoring these sliding windows but it doesn't look like that's available- mrdap

Well here it is 2 1/2 yrs later....sorry. The problem is that on the bottom of the sliding panes, there are some plastic sliders which are completely deteriorated, so the sliding window panes rattle around like crazy like an inch of play in them. Right now I have a bunch of popsicle sticks...- mrdap
