vent window interchange?

[plugugly]

do the different years interchange between them? I know there are one piece gaskets, two piece, one bolt, two bolt, etc differences, but if I came across a 2 bolt vent window thats in better shape than my one, bolt set, would they interchange in my 87 doors?

Do you mean the whole vent window assembly?
They fit 73 - 87. You my have to drill a hole for the second bolt.
Great information bout vent windows:

yes, the whole assembly. Ive seen where some things indicate they can be used interchangeably, but I dont have the two types to compare.

thanks for the link. Found that yesterday when searching, but it still doesnt say if they are interchangeable

Yes, they will all interchange with minor work.

thanks. any info on what the minor work would be?

Unfortunately I don't. That's not something I've personally done but talked to a few guys over the years that have. I think it's really just drilling that extra hole if you get a set that has it.

Or you could just pick up some new ones for your truck. That's what I plan to do:

I found a set of rebuilt ones for not much more than I can get all the parts for. I was being lazy and considering just getting those if I could use them.

What year were the rebuilt ones from? Trust me, I wouldn't dare try to rebuild them myself after watching videos and talking to guys that have done it. It's WELL worth the cost to me to have someone rebuild them or just buy new ones.

There's also a couple guys that rebuild them pretty reasonable and Precision offers that service as well. But it's still around $300-350 IIRC

not sure, I just know they have a 2 bolt lower mount.
