    I was wondering if the door windows on a 70-72 GS the same as a 70-72 Chevelle? If they are,I'd like to replace mine since I have a few small chips in the glass.

    Thanks for the info.

    Chevelle door glass will interchange, as well as Olds & Pontiac A-bodies. There is also a date code on the glass. Would be judged in Concours, I would assume.

    HTH

    Also there were two glass suppliers to GM at the time.

    Libbey Owens Ford (LOF)
    Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG)

    Glass will be marked to identify supplier.

    if u can buy all new tinted side glass for $200 , go 4 it . i would imagine , however , that the rear glass price might be a little scary even for a chevelle .

    I have a question, is the door glass different for a convertible?
    My passenger side has a small chip on the front edge and I would like to replace it at some point.

    I have 4 full extra sets of side glass, I think its all soft ray tinted
    I would have to dig it out to get date codes , i think 2 sets are from 70 cars and 2 sets are from 72 cars. Have no idea what each piece is worth or exact condition
    but if anyone is interested I could check.

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    Conv use the same doors and door glass. Conv qtr glass is specific to GM A-body convertibles only!

    As for door glass, you can use 70-2 Chevelle, Cutlass, LeMans, Skylark, Monte Carlo and Grand Prix.

    I would be interested in the non-tinted glass,but all four pieces have to be mint(they would be going on my Stage 1 which you know I restored to concours condition). Now,the manufacturers logos all have to be the same and since my car is a '70 the glass has to match the date codes.(my car was built 5/70 which of course is late.

    Thanks!
