Tinted Glass in Hard Top - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Did any of the hard tops/hatches come with matching Soft Ray (tinted front glass option on the SPID) or did they all have clear glass?

I don't think I have ever seen an OEM tinted glass in a factory hard top.

My experience has been that if factory AC was ordered, then the hard top and cab side glass came with tinted glass. Not sure if tinted glass could be ordered with a non AC truck, but likely so. My 2 cents.

I don't think you could get an AC truck without it.

Clear and tinted were available for both single and double wall tops. Here's a parts catalog excerpt listing the various part numbers: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...0&postcount=11

Hmm - very cool.

Can anybody share a pic of an OEM hard top with tinted glass?

Wondering if I need to swap my glass with tinted to match my fronts...
