Hey Guys,
Does anyone make rear window louvers to fit the 73-87 body? I'm looking to keep some of this desert sun out of my cab so it doesn't bake my interior. I'd rather not tint the windows. Thought some rear louvers might really help out.
Appreciate any input.
Greg

Those are cool! Reasonably priced too. I just added those to my list.

Well, that was a washout. Been trying to reach Andy's Auto Parts for a couple weeks. No reply to emails, phone calls go unanswered. Maybe they're out of business?

I’ve ordered from there before, it wasn’t very recent but I’ve never tried calling or emailing I guess. Some of those companies are like that

Yeah, don't know what happened there. Went to their site the day 1973c10 posted the link. Found the louvers, 3 different kinds. So I asked a couple questions thru email. a week later, No answer. Tried again, another week still no answer. Called a couple times, kept getting the message "Sorry no one here to take your call" then disconnect. It was pretty clear I needed to look around.
Anyway, just found them over at Willpak for $83.96 with free shipping. Ordered and on their way. I'm going to paint them white to match my truck. I hope after all this they don't look too 1970's disco gay!
I'll post pics when they're installed.
Gotta keep that never-ending sun out of my cab. Also, when I turn my overheads on at night they bleed in through the rear window and light the cab up pretty bright inside. Anyone else have this problem?
Louvers should help to alleviate this as well.
Thanks for all the input.

awesome, I have a set of Willpak on mine. They will not fit a slider because a slider protrudes out a bit and the louver will not tuck under the seal as designed. I simply trimmed the louver and used velcro attached to the slider frame. works very well and is removable for cleaning the window.
