Window Frames: Are they all the same, SWB or LWB?
 
I am looking to buy some window frames for my '77 resto-mod project. The ones I am considering are from a '67 SWB car. Any reason they won't work in my '77 doors? Any other tips or gotchas to be aware of?

Thanks as always for your knowledge sharing.

They work and fit fine, just heavier because it is made of chrome over brass frames compared to the aluminum you currently have.

Should I have asked this in my original post. Will the quarter windows bolt right up to the aluminum frames if I buy just those parts or do I need the whole frames?

No, entirely different. Have to use the 65-67 window frames or you can look for a 68 which is aluminum but they do not come up often.
