Does anybody know if all G-body windshields '78-'87 are interchangeable? I have a 1978 GMC Caballero with a cracked windshield and I'm wondering if the window out of a '85-'86 Cutlass or a '81 Grand Prix would be the same.

yes they are, I checked on the site below for an El Camino 1978 and it listed the windshields that they have that fit ... Regal, Monte Carlo, Olds Cutlass ....

your welcome, save that link cause it's useful to find parts and to get an indication of what a part is worth. Your windshield is the easy one, your back window won't be so easy....
Windshields interchange in the following way
Coupes and El Caminos share a windshield
Sedans and wagons share a different windshield

I just had a new windshield removed and installed by Safelite for about $210 for my Regal, I was told back when I had them install the new windshield in my Monte a few years back that these windshields were continued through the 90's and used in trucks.
The new windshields come with the later model rearview mirror mount so your factory one will not work without an adapter, I just went and bought a new mirror for $10.
The difference in clarity between a new and old windshield is a night and day difference and I for one will never install a used windshield if new is available

Been wondering how the sedan windshield differs from the coupe, or more importantly , if there are any windshields the same size & profile as the coupes, but just slightly taller & or wider.
Been trying to think up how I'm going to have modern flush glass, no trim. Planning on some metal work. . When I shave my drip rails , might make pillar covers that get higher than the windshield as they get closer to the hood, such as on the caddy cts coupe.,
