Was having an issue tracking down a driver's side, clear vent glass for 73-79 (78 C20), and wanted to see if I am missing something. From the catalogs I've checked , it looks like the LH clear version for 73-79's is literally the only version that isn't stocked. For example, there is a certain parts site that says you can use an 85-87 instead, which I ordered but doesn't seem to be right. Has anyone had to deal with this, or maybe could point me in the right direction? I've also tried other parts sites, ebay/google/CL with no luck, and haven't found anything on this specific topic from a forum search.
Thanks for any help, Justin

Check this thread for ID'ing vent windows..

You CANNOT use a 85-87 vent glass in a 73-80 frame. You HAVE to get a 73-80 glass for it...
You can however swap the whole vent over to the newer style.

Sorry, I should've clarified that I did read that thread (after I ordered the part of course :-[ ). I did not think about swapping the whole thing though.
Does anyone have any other parts resources handy that may have a 73-80 glass? I'd prefer to do that first since I have everything on both sides intact except the drivers side glass. I was not able to find it on this site's store.
