Can anyone please tell me if a windshield out of a c-50 grain truck will fit my same year pick up cab ?-Thanks

Yes. Same cab, as your light duty.

Be very careful and double check. Maybe check with a glass manufacturer and see if they show the same pn. Sometimes there are slightl differences in angles and curves that may not be noticeable.

new windshields are so readily available from a local glassguy why not get one and see good

I agree. Why not just get new glass? You could change this one in and it could start to fog. Auto glass companies offer installed prices for little more than the cost of the glass and if they break it they try again...same price. Break yours and "Oh well...sorry"

PS: Yes,they are exactly the same. The only difference in the cabs is in lower areas.

New glass is a stupidly wonderful experience. The first time you drive into the sun with a new windshield, you will smile like a half baked idjut.

I have a 67 that I have WAY too much money in.
The truck that the used windshield is for is called Frankentruck. It is just left over parts. I have more fun with that than I EVER could with the 'expensive' one.It is kind of a game with me to see how cheaply I can operate it.
I already got the windshield from the guy for $30 and some other stuff.
After years of eating balogna sandwiches for a week ,to pay for a $5000 chrome bill,and all the rest of that goes with it,I find this truck to be pure fun.
If you haven't built this way,you won't understand but I do understand how nice new stuff is.
Thanks for the help guys.

Always remember, one man's budget bolt on... Is another man's budget.

I understand now. That's exactly what I'm building. A ground up truck using what I have and I don't want it to look like "money" or even restored. I wish I could put used paint on it. I think this is what it comes around to after building enough dream vehicles. Now I want my stuff to look like I don't care that much. Not all beat up,just no big deal. Just a cool truck to drive,park,and walk away.
