Re: windshield issue
Several years back I had a friend of mine do all of the paint and body work on my 67. When he pulled it all apart it still had the original windshield. I bought a complete new gasket set and when my buddy tried to reinstall the windshield he could not get it in. We called the local guy that had sold us the gasket set (who also restored trucks) and he referred my friend to his glass man for advice. My friend called the glass man and was told that the factory glass is slightly thicker than the replacement glass and said that trying to reinstall factory glass in an aftermarket gasket was just about impossible. Long story short we just had the glass guy come out with a new windshield and he installed it by himself in about 30 minutes.
Now whether he was just trying to sell me a piece of glass or that is really the fact I do not know. It really made no difference to me either way because my original glass was hazy and I was just trying to put off replacing it for a bit anyway.
