New Windshield

Well I got a nasty rock in the winshield the other day in my '67, a star about 4" across tat cracked both pieces of the windshield glass. So, I am looking for a new windshield. Anyone have any advice on the best options for buying one as far as quality and price? Also, who has the best quality rubber gaskets, mine has the SS trim around it?
Any advice is appreciated, Andy.

Windshield business is competitive. Let them know the other guy said less. They will come off the price .
