Do you want 77 specifically?
The reason I ask is the internals of the doors changed in 77 when power windows/locks became an option.
Most aftermarket companies group 77-87 together.

I had a '77 K5 back in the early 90's. I went to GM back then and bought a new set of 81 & up wing window assemblies. Fit with no issues. I like the 81 & up style better as they lock and seal better.

Exactly. I prefer having locks on my wings.

X2. When I rebuilt mine in 2018 I got new aftermarket latches that lock. Still have the oem non locking set.

This is why I love this site. I've always owned a 70's style Squarebody. Never looked too deeply into how different the 80's were (except for body style, column, interior, FI, etc.) and didn't know the vents on the 80's style locked. I'll have to get some!

Nice thing is you can get them with chrome or black buttons on the outside.

We are still looking around our area but parts are rare around East TN.
