Can't find a non-shade-band windshield
"Old Roy" is in need of a new windshield. I called a friend of mine who is also an auto glass installer as he has done many windshields for us. He says the only windshield he can find in a "quality" glass is one that has the shade-band at the top. That won't work, I'm 6'3" and with the new seat foam Old-Roy has, I'm only using the top 3" of the windshield as it is.
![]() Thinking maybe he had lost his touch, I reached out to Safelight. After a 20 minute phone conversation the lady on the other end of the line said the same thing...can only find a windshield with the shade-band at the top. So, does anybody here know of somewhere to find a QUALITY windshield without the shade band at the top?

Re: Can't find a non-shade-band windshield
LMC and Summit both offer it. Google my username and windshield, I have a thread with part numbers and what's what with the various tints. Should be all you need if you can find it.
Like so: site:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/ windshield part number davepl And you'll find: CT6772T

Re: Can't find a non-shade-band windshield
I had a green tint windshield installed in my truck a couple months ago and it fit perfect. Used a new gasket with the original trim.

Re: Can't find a non-shade-band windshield
I use originals from junkyard trucks if they are not all pitted up.

Re: Can't find a non-shade-band windshield
The glass place I'm going to go with is able to get me the "Green Tinted" glass like my original, so they are available. I understand why you don't want the Blue tint band at the top. Maybe you need to find a sales person whose a little older to understand you.

I guess what I'm asking is if anybody has experience with windshields from any of these vendors. (Does it fit?)
