i have had great luck using safelite glass, about 200 bucks for one on my truck... you could pull one at the Ecology yard off broadway and install your self!

Can't argue with that price! How many yards did you have to search to find it?

Hey Garret I am going to be soon putting our own windshield in our 89 F250 and 84 B2 can get the windshield very cheap but don't know where to get the sealant and glue and all that. Kinda tired of having to clean up the mess from other people installing it and finding broken door pillars trim pieces.

Same: 1967/72 F100/750, 1973/79 F100/350, 1978/79 Bronco.

Weatherstrip specific to 1967/72 F100/750 and there are two types: With or without stainless steel windshield reveal mouldings.
