I don't think they are available for 1st or 2nd Gens. You can get some for a 3rd Gen and cut them down to fit your glass.

we have found a yard out here in the northwest with about 10 to 12 early vans. chevy,ford and dodge.
there are at least 8 chevies. we are in the process of buying the chevies and bringing them home to our shop and parting them out. i would say there is quite a bit of parts that are very difficult to find.
what was funny is that there is a couple 1st gens with pop out side windows in them. give us some time to get these vans out of there. i will not disclose the yard. owner is pretty cranky, aren't they all. these vans are quite a find. probably the rarest is a 1st gen GMChandibus custom. i'll keep everyone posted. got some pics of them, just gotta figure out how to post pics.
thanks
