One side or the other is fine, but one thing that would be an issue is that since the ONLY place where there is room on the 80 body for the mechanical actuator is right where the rear marker light goes, it would be best to plug the non-operation side with the same actuator so that you don't end up with one marker light "out".
They can be opened from the inside by pushing on the latches, or from the outside by way of the locking actuator.
The actuator does not need to be mounted in that specific location, it is just the bolt-in option. With another gasket set they could be mounted elsewhere and the cables are long enough to facilitate this. The inner body structure on the 80 series trucks severely limits actuator placement though.
Aluminum blank-out panels can be installed in place of the glass and are actually a little bit cheaper overall if you do not already have the factory solid glass. These could be steel, but they would be heavier than needed. They slip into place exactly the same way as the glass panels do, no design changes.
Do these things exist for 55s? I keep hearing they cost a lot, but what is a lot? The fixed window rubber on the rear doors is $500. I think that is expensive, but these windows are fantastic- function and form!
I had heard somewhere that there was a company that made somethign that worked with the factory sliding windows that also allowed for the fli[ up. Did you ever find anything?Could the sliding windows be modified to flip as well? I love the flip idea, but would like to keep the sliding functionality for my pooch. Doing both would be the ultimate in versatility.
