1973 Suburban window questions

[Oscar73]

Looks like I last logged in like 3 years ago... oops!

I've got a 1973 Suburban I've had for almost 20 years, and it needs a windshield and the rear cargo windows need to be popped out for rust repair. But, all I can find window gasket-wise show they fit from 1976 and up, leaving the 1973-75 years a bit destitute... was there some huge change in 76, or is there some CYA going on from the window gasket sellers?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

I was thinking they all are the same.

Anyone what for sure?

May have somthing to do with factory tint the glass may be a bit thicker. but im not sure. i bet it will work any way. i changed a side glass not to long ago and reused the rubber.

Might also be the moulding that fits into the rubber seal, I don't know what the earliest ones had.

I would venture the changes were all aesthetic.

You mean, prettier window rubber? Well, then alright!

Thanks!

As in some had no molding, some had chrome molding, and some had black molding.

My 73 has later model privacy glass in the rear. I think the rubber may be original though. I can check later tomorrow.

I like the idea of prettier better... ol' Oscar the Subhuman could use all the pretty it can find.
