Are all 68-72 GM A body windshields interchangeable? Thanks

Yes

68442

Wagons and 4 doors are different than their 2 door counterpart

I think convertibles are also different than Hardtops. I believe all 2 door, 4 door Hardtops were the same though. Convertible being a different unit. Not sure about wagon.

To clarify, all 68-72 A-body windshields are interchangeable WITHIN THE SAME BODY STYLE.

There are three different configurations:

Sport Coupe and Holiday Coupe
Convertibles
More doors and wagons

Troys Toy 70

To add to what Joe just said. The A-body 4-door windshields are 3/4 to an inch taller than the 2-doors.

What about El Camino? Same as wagon, or same as sport coupe?

How about the "A-Specials", Monte Carlo and Grand Prix

At any rate, the usual differences will be important depending on vehicle options--tinting and windshield antenna to name two.

My crossover book indicates that Elcamino interchanges with the two doors.

I need to replace my windshield on my 1968 442. I’m really conflicted on whether I should replace it with completely clear or tinted. Does anyone know if the 68 cars came with tinted or clear? Also it seems that new replacement tinted windows come with the blue shade strip along the top - was that available on the 68 A body cars? Please help. Thanks —Billy

Below is the dealer specs book page for the 1968 442. Note option A02. A tinted windshield was a $25 option, so the presumption is that a non-tinted windshield was standard. What kind of windshield your car originally came with is probably indicated by one of the codes on cowl tag under the hood. Post a photo of that.

As far as the dark tinted stripe across the top of the windshield that you see nowadays, I'm guessing that this was not available in 1968, so you wouldn't want it if you wanted your replacement to be 100% correct. But I'm guessing it's possible that the only new windshields you can find today will have that stripe, so you'd have to find an original windshield from a junkyard car.

Windshields with a blue-tint stripe across the top few inches were available in '66. My Mom bought a Chevy Biscayne with that tint-striped windshield

Thanks for that info. Here is my cowl tag. —Billy
