<VV> [FC] Rear Window

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Hank,

Are you sure that Rampside rear windows didn't come with gaskets including 
locking strips?  In the process of stripping a Rampside of its good parts, I 
pulled the rear window and it included a gasket with locking strip.  The locking 
strip was quite brittle from age and sun damage and came out in pieces.  I 
just checked my '62 Rampside and it has the locking strip as well.  Perhaps, both 
windows had been replaced over the years but that seems to be too much of a 
coincidence.
