Hey guys, quick question, I finally decided to scrap the rusted out body of my '79, and turned what was left into a truck box trailer. While I was at it, I removed the windshield, and rear window from the cab.

It so happens, that my '84 has a cracked windshield, and the back window is blacked out tinted, way too dark to see through.

Are the windshields, and rear windows on these two models compatible?

'84 and '79.

Thank you all!

Does the 79 have the radio antenna built into like the 84?

I had a '79 in high school that had the embedded antenna.

I wasn't sure my 77 has a newer windshield with the wires, but it also has an antenna.

I'm not sure if it was an option from the start of the body style or when it was phased in, I just know it goes back to at least '79.

There are many atvantages of running a mast antenna. I hate the embedded ones.
