Compatible Windshield Replacement
Hello all,
I've perused the forums a bit but can't seem to find any information specific to what I'm looking for.
I just recently picked up a 1975 Chevrolet Van30 (RV conversion by Mobile Traveler) and am in need of a windshield due to a single crack in the middle. It's not looking like the glass is easy to find and Safelite is outright ignoring my inquiries. So my question is: do any other years fit this vans windshield dimensions? For example does a Windshield listed to fit a 67-70 model year have any significant difference in the bends or shape? Looking at pictures I am not seeing any change. But it's alot of money for a maybe.

Two entirely different vans. The early model has an almost flat windshield. The later model is much bigger with a slight wrap around glass. You may have to do a junkyard search.

If your camper is a cutaway van with a stock GM windshield frame, any 1971-1991 windshield should fit. At some point around 1991 they went from a gasket install to a urethane install and I am not sure if they just made the glass a little larger or what, but I would not be shocked if you could use the late glass and urethane it in as well.
