wow now the dutch doors have individually opening windows!!! this website is not associated with gm at all, it was created by a private party who more than likely just changes the year and keeps everything else the same, i wonder if he even realizes this himself though?

I would love to have open windows in the back ... that way while off-roads the dust CAN get out instead of staying inside.
While we are dreaming ... why is there no V8 in the vehicle? Where is the ZR1 or ZR2 or Z71 packages? eh!? :) Or for you lowriders, an SS package.

I say buy older ones, with good bodies, put the newer front end on them and keep them out of the scrap pile....
