    Looking for 1966 (fixed the year so as not to be confusing-vanny)G-10 van Driver side vent window clips or compatible fitting vent clips to replace both sides. I heard that some chevy truck and/or corvair parts fit these vans.
    Cant find em' on e-bay or JCwhitney and any the parts linked sites here in the forrum. I have already done some searching and investigating before asking you pros out there.
    I would be happy to buy one off a parts van you may have.

    If you have a picture of the clip that you're looking for, that would be helpful to see if the clips from our vintage vans (Chevy 1964-1969) would fit yours...I'm sure that one of the Chevy guys on this site will jump in and let you know or point you in the right direction.

    Just the hinge/ hardware parts. Was hoping to find something compatible as I have heard that some corvair or truck parts do fit other chevy car interiors.

    Not trying to confuse or mystify anyone here. If you follow the thread from the top, I am asking if there are other chevy truck or corvair vent window parts that may fit to replace both sides on my 66 G-10 window vent hardware hinges. I want to replace them with two that are the same to match. I highly doubt that chevy created a bunch of different post size toolings for vent window locks. They may have different chrome handles for each model but the rest of the assembly is likely the same fittings, spacing, sizing and mechanical geometry. The guy I bought this from who told me about this forum seemed pretty confident that a lot of the interior parts could be replaced with various corvair parts. He even gave me an extra corvair glove box cover that is exactly the same fitment as the G-10, just more ornate.

    Ok, so it looks like he needs a drivers side '66 vent window Latch, what he called a clip, the year was a typo.  Assuming you are missing the latch handle so it can't be repaired?  Anyone have a latch for him or does a repro Corvair or any other GM handle work?  The pass side pictured doesn't look like a '66 either? My '64's look like the one Doni pictured, so several probably work. And yes, the 1st Gen vans share glove box and instrument clusters with early Corvair cars and vans, not much else except the cargo door handles, inside rear view mirror.  The tail light lenses were also the same as early 60's chevy pickups.

    Thanks man! That helps me a ton and I know where to start. That is all golden info.- So glad you guys are as helpful/knowledgeable as you are. This is my first van (but probably not my last) I sold a 63 falcon futura and 65 Ford F-250 to justify this van and my upcoming plans for it.
    first part of its life will be camping / surf /skate cruiser- Later when my son is old enough we will transform it into a proper V-8 beast.

    The one you show is a 64 to 66 and is availible new at clarks corvair and likely elswhere. The one in don's picture is a 67 to 70.  Because whole doors are intechangable these items get mixxed up onto different years of vans.
    If my memory servse me right I do think the latch and the window fram stud are different from 1st gen to 2nd gen and I think we went through this about 6 years ago to discover the latches are not interchangable form 1st to 2nd gen vent window frames.

    yours is a 66, it says so on the glass. (thats why pictures work so well)

    ou will need the 1st gen latch, the roll pin that goes with it and the circular spring washer that keeps it from rattling around when opened.
