I have a 1971 C50 that has a bad windshield, do the 10,20, and 30 series windshields work for my 2 ton? They look the same but I can't seem to find anything on the net about this.

I know that for AD series trucks the cabs were the same from 1/2-ton thru 2-ton, but I don't have any information to confirm that holds true for '71 trucks. I'll have to let one of the guys who has that info weigh in.

Get out the GM Master Parts Book.

The C series cabs are the same. 67 thru 72 IIRC. John

deadbeat,

The basic answer is "yup". Any C10-30 series windshield will fill your C50 glass need. Below is the way I used to confirm such info.

Searched the great Stovebolt info reference site GM partswiki which provided the following info:

http://www.gmpartswiki.com/getpage?pageid=62597 (I searched using the name "Glass, windshield" and specified "Chevrolet medium duty truck" and the year "1971" before clicking on search)

An extracted and marked screenshot below shows the one-piece "clear" and "tinted" windshields used in ALL 67-72 Trucks, except for the Tilt cab and P-models (Panel vans) which used a different 2-piece split windshield as noted in the search results.

Am sure that armed with this info you can source a good windshield.

Thanks for the help, I tried to use the parts wiki for an hour or so but never could find what I needed. So yeah, I think there are some c10 truck sitting here and there around here that would sell me a windshield, or I may just buy a new one and new seal and be done with it.
