Are the cabs the same as pickups from the same year for the door windows? I need new glass and am also seeing a vent window delete. Does anyone know how that works. If I'm in the wrong place please let me know where this should go.

Also who is the best place to use for windows? Any forum supporting vendors?

Yes, your truck shares all of it's glass with the pickups. Any of the usual vendors will have your glass.

As for converting to one piece glass, you'll need to do some measuring to confirm there is enough room for the glass to go all the way down before it hits the wheel opening dog leg.

Thank you for the confirmation of window fitment. I was pretty sure but wanted back up.

The LCF doors might not allow the window to roll all the way down as Mike B said. The Chevy glass is all the same as the pick-up trucks - I would assume it's the same for your GMC.
