    Have you got wing windows on that truck? or just one big side window?

    If you got a wing window, you can use a pair of vice grips and turn the little knob on the outside to pop that wing open.

    Do you have one of them "doggy windows" on the floor on the passenger side?

    If you got one of them, you can use a screwdriver and work around that seal and pop that plexiglass out.

    If you got niether of those....You know a locksmith???

    I locked myself out down in the gorge on 70 one night lol. No cellphone and 5 cents short of being able to use payphone. lol. Those little windows are expensive i think i paid around 200 installed. Been a few years...

    If you close to town id just pay the 40 bucks to have a locksmith open it verses tearing something up.

    You don't need to break that lil' window to get it out....just have to work at it and pop it out of the seal....perfectly re-installable after that.
