That's a rear safari window in the cargo door,came w/ the Panel. You can get them through Wolfgang,not cheap. The Panel came from C.Cal (Visalia) It had been sitting for 2yrs.and needed an Alt., 2 tires, a FULL tune-up, Carbs resynced,2 headlights w/ buckets,wiper blades and all fluids changed to get it home.I hung out at my folks over a weekend (Canyon Country)to dial everything in. I brought my old headlights from my burnt bus and still spent over $300.oo in parts.$2.99 for a fuel filter? Gimmie a break,.99 cents in the Lone Star State. I did this deal a couple o months ago when gas was really high,I paid $2.65 gal. when it was $2.00 in Houston! I paid $1800. for the Panel, total investment w gas and air fair around $2500. After being looked over at a local dub shop it's decided it needs a valve job since it has low compression in #1 cylinder85lbs. all others at 125lbs. or close to it. I scored 2 rebuilt heads on E-Bay for $125. After the heads were inspected the labor is about $300. to CC, fly cut and install heads,reseal engine front and rear and put on a good used stock exhaust,so I cane get the rear bumper on.Total envestment to date around 3K,still a good deal.

Wow, nice work vehicle. Beats out the standard dodge white van.

The safari rear window is awesome!!! That would sure look nice on my bus, if you ever need to change it out for a regular window I could take it off your hands for you. Cool

after you click on the gallery pic., double click on the pic one more time, then click "file", then"properties" for the (different) URL that will make that work.
