Nobody else has responded yet, so I'll jump in and suggest that YES the doors are identical and therefore the glass should be as well. I say this because GM were frugal (some may say cheap) and wouldn't bother to design a unique door just for one specialized series of trucks. If they could re-use something, they always did. The only difference I'm aware of is the glass in the 73-80 years is supposedly thicker than 81 and on.
Also, if you look through the aftermarket parts catalogs the crew cab is almost always lumped in with the suburban. The rear door seals are the same as for both rigs, just as one example. I can't find a specific example for windows, but I'd be shocked if they were different. I just can't see the general spending that kind of money.
Honestly, that's one of the reasons I'm a GM fellow. I come from a GM family and my uncles used to say the parts manager at the Ford Dealer was paid better than the GM parts guy because Ford woke up every morning and had "a better idea" and constantly used different parts when the previous ones probably worked fine.
