I was told that the Prevost curved side windows are actually 4905 windshields.  Anyone know for sure?

According to my sources your are correct. GM windshields an Prevost side glass are the same.

Call Luke. He is usually spot on with price and he doesn't ship the wrong stuff.

If this is correct, I don't think you could use a Prevost side glass for a windshield because they are completely tinted and most states don't allow a completely tinted windshield. I think that a Prevost windshield is the same as the side glass, just not tinted.

Don't know if this company is still in business, or if you'd consider this a good deal (I did and bought one several years ago for my 4905)......but,

Curve Glass, telephone 800-243-6542, can't remember where they are located.

Again several years ago, but the window cost me $125.38 + $75.00 shipping.

Good luck,
Chris

I think the glass is the same as in my 4106. If that is the case just call the local glass co. I did and they had them in stock. No problem. I DID have to get the rubber from Luke though.

Forgot to make mention in my previous post that the windshields for the GMC Intercity Coaches from the PD-4104 through he last Buffalo's built in 1980.
The windshields are the same and there is no difference between left and right. ;D
