Do all windshields swap for any 73-77 A body?

I don't believe station wagon and sedan are swappable to a coupe.

As far as I know, beyond that, they should be.

I'm sure someone who knows more will pipe up.

Would an El Camino share windshields with coupes?

According to OPGI
64-77 Elcamino & Chevelle are the same. Found this on the site w/ Antenna.

OPGI is incorrect. There is no way 1st or 2nd gen glass will fit in a 3rd gen.

1973-77 wagon, 4-door sedan, & El Camino share the same dimensions.
Coupe (2-door) is different.

If unsure what you have, measure the winshield vertically and you will find the difference in windshields from a 2-door and 4-door models.

I just checked the part numbers for the Chevelle versus the El Camino windshields....they are different. And I wasn't aware of this until this thread showed up ! Very Happy

Now that's a Chevelle coupe right?

Sounds like the sedan, station wagon, and El Camino share a windsheild. Anyone know if that is the same with all El Caminos even back to 59-60?

When did El Caminos start sharing the frame/wheelbase with the station wagons?
