Hi Wes, since shipping these isn't an option and everyone seems to like the quality and fitment, could you post the Pilkington part # so us guys out who aren't within driving distance out on the east cost could find our own local source? thanks

These trucks use a 685. Same number regardless of brand.

Yep 685. I would think that any glass installer shop could sell you one. I know even safelite who uses their own brand will order one. At least they use to. It's been a long time since I had to order a windshield that way, so things may have changed. WES

Well I checked with my local glass installer. They actually have access to Pilkington windshields as well. They will not ship them but they charge quite a bit more. Windshield installed is $220 but I want new rubber and that's an additional $96. My truck is yet to be painted and could be a year or two before I get to the finish body work. My friend advised me to hold off because its easier to paint the truck without the window installed. We shall see....
