rear window for ute conversion

[simkell]

Any ideas for a new window for a ute conversion? I have done a search and it seems a hilux rear window is a possibility.
The window is for a chopped 80 and wouldn't mind it to be as big as the old rear window.

Cheers in advance.

Would it need to be as big as the old rear window? The closer it is to the driver, the smaller it can be to still see the same amount in the rear view mirror.

Your research has the best answer. Hilux windows are cheap and do the job perfectly mate.

cheers I thought hilux would be the way to go.

Does anyone have a close up photo of the rear window surround where they have cut the hole for the window.
cheers again

When i chopped my 80 i got a window for a carton of beer. It was the front window out of a flexiglass challenge fibreglass canopy. And big windows on chopped wagons look crap When the window is closer to you, you dont need a big window.

I know its not brand loyal -- but

I put a 75 series ute rear window in the back of my GU dual cab cut.

Worked nicely (and I got it for the right price !)

You can put a 80 series rear window in. Fits nice width wise - but you need to curve your rear wall.

Ford F series windows are also another option.

i think id use a 75 window if i was doing it, got a couple here which always helps motivate that

hey if possible could you post a pic of it for me. Even better would be before the glass was put in.

cheers again for the input everyone.
