Rear sliding windows on a 1009: Anyone else get that?

[chief1983]

I didn't get mine from GL, so I'm thinking that they were a previous civilian enhancement. Anyone know if those were ever installed on them while still army owned? I didn't think anything of it until I realized that neither any pics on this site nor the manual seem to mention the sliding rear, yet they don't seem like they were replaced, and the top itself seems original enough.

The government did not buy them with the sliding windows. It is possible that the windows were replaced at some point, but it is most likely that they were replaced while the vehicle was not government owned.

This truck was purchased from GL with sliding windows, but the RWL tires were added. The same dealer had several other M1009's that had the sliders, so they were some out there. I would agree with Ken that they were changed out some point.

I had a slider and windshield in a lot from GL with other parts a while back. The boxes had NSNs etc so they were in the system.

And mine is different still from C-30's in that it has four panes of glass, with a part in the middle that two small panes slide away from.

That like the NSN ones? They even seem to have a dull army paint on them and not shiny civvy paint. Whether its CARC or not I can't tell.
