Default 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.

That would be awesome, so far haven't found anything available near me. I'll start looking into those years now too.

Thanks!
