Rear side slide windows for dual cab

I have a 1973 dual cab with non slide one piece side passenger windows. I have noticed in some kombis that they have slides. That is what I am after. Firstly are they available? Do I need to get a bank loan for them? Were they intoroduced post 73?

If they are available where do I start?

Thanks Andrew

Never seen pop outs. I have only seen slides, where half the window slides. I think same as on Kombi Kids red dual cab that is now sold. Pics of it in Cars For Sale section.

Yeah Andrew they are half opening vent windows I saw some at the Valla swap meet for $25 each . Not common but available trouble with them is they were porly designed and leak. Best solution I have seen is cut down splitty popouts they look fantastic and work well apparently also have seen on samba people using hinges and latches from japanese vand and getting glass cut to suit. the twincabs whiche are still made in South America had great ones if you could get them that would be good also.
