Difference between vent windows - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone know the difference between 67 and 68-72 vent windows? I have a nice set of later I want to use in my '67, but want to make sure they'll work before I tear into it.

As far as I know, it's just the window glass itself and the handle. There is no hole in the glass on the 67s and the piece that the handle attaches to wraps under the vent window like a U shape.

Thanks. Sounds like I can use the ones I have.

That's right. The assemblies are interchangeable.

I was thinking you were going to swap out the 67 window and attached trim and handle and use the later model 68-72 surround trim. I did this on a set and you just need to remove the stainless rivet that the window rotates around and reattach the 67 window to the new one.
