Green windshield glass
When I bought my truck it came with a new windshield in a box. Getting to the point of putting glass in and I just looked and the windshield is green glass. I'm putting clear on the back and sides then having it tinted grey from the Florida sun. Has anyone put in green windshield and tinted everywhere else? I hate to have to buy a clear windshield to match so I'm trying to find out if it will look OK

Re: Green windshield glass
I had a fella looking for the green tinted side windows, hard to find apparently. you may be able to find somebody looking for the green glass for a numbers resto. I will put in the clear for the same reason as you, likely a light tint.

Re: Green windshield glass
A friend of mine stopped by this morning with a new truck that he had tinted all windows including the windshield. I might call the tinter and see if tint would cover the green. NPD has clear windshields for $272 and I can drive there to save on shipping if I need to go that route. Shipping kills you on windshields

Re: Green windshield glass
You had best check your state laws on tinting a windshield with aftermarket tint before you go any further. In some areas it isn't legal at all because of the idiots who decided to put the same dark tint they put on the side windows on the windshield.

Re: Green windshield glass
I'm running all green glass in my 53 Suburban. I had a local glass shop cut it all (minus the rear barn door glass) and I installed it all.
Not sure you could tell a huge difference if some was clear vs green. Marc
