Most vendor sell the front & side; back glass I'm not too sure on. I usually get my front glass from a local auto glass shop; back glass salavage yard if not a fellow member here might have it. I'm not a fan on shipping glass.

I'd get it local. I think I paid no more than $175 to have a new windshield installed at home in my truck. In California so you would think Indiana would be cheaper.

I agree with local glass shop. You should be able to price shop them if you like. Get Dennis Carpenter rubber for the windshield, it is available with or without the slot for the bright metal trim.

If you order on line, be aware of the shipping. A $200 windshield can cost $125 to ship.

If you don't have too many or too deep scratches, you can buff the used glass using any dental whitening tooth paste and electric buffer. Use plenty of water and be patient.

The windshield is available from local autoglass shops. If they don't have it, will order it for you. You will not have to pay any shipping charges.

NAGS (National Auto Glass Society) part number: W602 ~ Specify which type / Three types available: Clear, tinted and a Sun Band, which is tinted with extra tint across the top.

The vent, door and back glass are flat, can be cut from glass stock by any autoglass shop.

You WILL need new windshield and back glass weatherstrips. There are TWO different windshield weatherstrips:

With (Custom Cab/Ranger) stainless steel w/shield reveal mouldings. Or without (Standard Cab) mouldings.

I got my rear glass from Blue Oval. They had the best price (around 65) and shipping wasn't too bad. But I'm in California, as are they.
