Try Erich Koschyk, typeiv@earthlink.net. He specializes in a variety of NOS parts, used parts and good suggestions. I was out seeing him today, and I saw he has a decklid, and he probably has the window; he has a variety of parts cars as well. Anyway, he is really helpful and knowledgeable. He is not in Texas, he is about an hour east of Sacramento, CA, but he ships. Email him, it's worth your time.

Dan, The decklid...unrusted will be almost impossible...so get ready for a little welding. The rear glass is the same as the four door. I know of a few parts stashes in OKC and Tulsa. I will be up there next weekend. I will look around. Ray

Dan..this is a little strange to describe..but if you get to Tulsa OK for a weekend, and you are getting back on the turnpike to head back to OKC....as you just pass the tollbooth and look to the right...you will see the backend of a 411 wagon sticking out of the woods....amazing! The guys that own this land...have about 10 of them in various years only 4 doors and wagons. Its a long way from houston...but with driving characteristics in our part of the country...its not bad...I drive around a lot in a three state area. If you don't find what you want...I'll see what they have. I know where several deck lids are...but almost all have the start of that ugly rust. The solution is to cut the inside panel away in a 2.5" x 10" strip...clean the rust and foam out with acid. If you just have a few small holes....spot weld them. Make a nice cover plate for the inside that will help you keep the inevitable leaves cleaned out of the inside. I'm at that point right now. Either way...don't discard your old bent or rusted lid. You may need it for parts someday. Ray
