Is this original glass

I asked this question on the vent windows a while back but now realize that all 4 windows have LOF glass.
Is it possible all 6 windows still have factory glass? I can't imagine the front is original with 150k total miles, but it is possible it was replaced at some point with OEM???
This is on all 6 windows. See pic.
I was going to take the truck in to have the glass tinted lightly and reinstalled. But if this is original glass, I am thinking it may not be wise. Or, is there so much of this stuff still around it's not particularly difficult to find and loosing a set to tint, which is reversable, is not a big deal.
Thanks for opinions.

Original glass or not, my opinion is don't let it rule your decision about tinting. As you say it is reversible unless a piece gets broken during the doing or undoing. But then a piece could get broken going down the road or while parked.

I looked around some more. It appears OE glass is not particularly valuable so there must be plenty around. I did not see windshields but I think I'll stick to my plan. It's not the value but the preservation if it was something difficult for someone to obtain.

Unhappy Re: Is this original glass

Almost impossible to find a good original LOF windshield. The lamination clouds up at the bottom and up the sides over time, especially in wet climates.

Re: Is this original glass

The "UT" is code for July 1970, right? Your truck is a 1970? I think I saw some posts on here, and a couple of other websites that discussed the glass codes. My Dad's had 2 or 3 that were original, not including the windshield. One original glass was from late 1971 for a June built 72. I believe that there could be some value added for a truck that had all original glass, instead of one that had different glass, body work, and a lot of other modifications.

Re: Is this original glass

I had a 68 gmc with original glass. The windshield was milky white around the entire perimeter. Sold it and then new owner commented that he was glad it was the original glass milky and all.
