Front Windshield Replacement 61 Truck Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've spent 3 and a half years restoring the family truck, and lo and behold the first drive out some guy in a red chevy truck kicks up a rock on the highway as I'm driving into Fresno and cracks the front windshield.

Needing to replace this glass, I am finding that prices are widely varied but it does appear that the part I need is a #DW587. Do any of you guys have any experience replacing these front wrap-around windshields? They range from $275 plus freight to $420 plus freight. Freight is $145. Is green tint the only option?

Are there any American made windshields or are they all through this JR Distributing? Any body shed some light on this problem?
