The glass is a mystery to me. I tried to search this 2dr vs 4dr thing and could not find any good info in the interchange manuals or on the web. Some serious work with a tape measure may be required. I believe that the front fenders interchange (but not if they are from a wagon or El Camino).

The fenders are the same. The only ones that are different are the wagons/El caminos. They wont interchange with the 2 dr and 4 dr cars.

No idea on the windshield. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif

According to my mitchell crash book I have, the 2dr and 4dr windshields carry different parts numbers. That tells me that the windsheilds are different from a 2dr to 4dr, but yet that doesnt mean that they wont interchange, so basically I have no idea.

Why not buy a new glass, nothing looks better then new glass in a car, and windshields for that car are very cheap. You can more then likely have your local glass shop install one for around 200 bucks...Eric

I know from experience that they won't interchange. The 4-door glass is taller and narrower than the 2-door glass.

Wow, that really surprises me. Heck, from '64 to '67 (maybe even up to '68)ALL "A" bodies had the same windshield. Chevelles, Skylarks, Tempest, two door, four door, wagon, convertible, Elcamino, it didn't matter.
