Door Glass - Blue Green Tint vs Clear?
I have two sets of doors for my '71 GMC. The doors that came with the truck have a blue-green tint but the replacement doors came with clear.
Why the difference? I am assuming they are both original. The clear have the LOF imprint. I don't remember if the tinted ones do. Is the blue-green set rare or only specific to a certain year? Thanks for any responses. |

Usually the A/C trucks got the tinted, but it was available on any of them.

My burb has the tinted, and I really like it.
Matched with the green paint color I run, it just has a really nice look to boot. Personally, I just think it's classic cool. BTW: My burb is a non A/C truck.

Tinted were usually in the A/C trucks, but I believe that you could get it in a non A/C also.

Re: Door Glass - Blue Green Tint vs Clear?
If you plan on tinting your windows use the clear windows and sell the factory tinted window to someone that wants the factory tint.
Would be a shame to modern tint over factory tint. I like the factory tint myself, it has a cool classic look to it.

Re: Door Glass - Blue Green Tint vs Clear?
Thanks for all the info. I have a pair of both tinted and clear but thanks for the wonderful gesture Paul and Jason.
The wierd part of the tinted glass is that it was out of a 3/4 ton, no air Minnesota farm truck! |

Re: Door Glass - Blue Green Tint vs Clear?
I just parted a 67 and a 72, both non-air trucks with tinted glass.
