 Topic: 72 GTS windshieldPosted: 12-June-2023 at 6:22PM |

Well folks, I'm still on this side of the dirt. It's been a ruff ride, but I'm cowboying up and hangin' on. I'm considering trying to repair the roof damage and windshield. The question is, will the windshield from a 1974 formal roof fit the 72GTS fastback body? I have a good 74 windshield waiting in the wings. Some of that 74 will be parted out, if I can muster the strength to do it. The 74 does have a good set of "opera" windows, and probably several other useful parts for someone. For those not familiar with my health situation, it's called colo/rectal cancer, and it's been a rough three years. Thanks in advance. Duck

My understanding is that every car covered by this forum from 1972 and up uses the same windshield.

Interesting side note: 72-73 cars actually had heavier glass in them. 77-79 cars like the LTD2, Thunderbird, Cougar and Ranchero actually had a slightly lighter windshield.
