Anyone have a new or nice windsheild for sale in the Dallas area? About to start calling glass shops around here to get a price but I thought I would check here first.
Thanks!

The last new one I put in I think cost about $100 installed, or at least less than $150.

Pretty cheap. I'll have to make some calls tomorrow.

I need one too, but I was going to go out to the Pate Swap meet and see if any of the dealers are out there. Auto City glass (or something close to that name) is usually at these things.

Hey guys.. I would'nt waist any time at the swap meet for the glass. The 67-72 chevy trucks have one of the hardest to install windshields ever made. It took the glass place 3 hours to install mine. Actually three hours with one guy then they got a couple other employees to help and finally got it in. I called a couple of glass places that drive to your house and install. The first place quoted 150.00 and I told the other places that I was already told 150 and could they do it cheaper.. I finally got it done for 125. That included new weather stripping!!!. It is very cheap and you will see that it is worth it. Swapp meets or used glass would probably not be worth your time.
