Classic Truck Glass?

Sorry I'm bombing the forum... just excited.

I'm looking to replace the glass with safety glass (especially after my daughter fell in love with the truck).

Classic Truck Glass has a kit to replace all the glass, which looks like a great deal. Has anyone purchased from them? Any issues I should be aware of, etc?

Thanks,
Mike

Glad you are having fun. No expirience with any new glass for me. I enjoy the old bubbles and yellowing too much! I always find what I need at junkyards. I know, I'm not right, but don't really want to be either!

I don't mind the way it looks... but I don't want my daughter driving it without safety glass.

Safety glass has been standard on all Fords since 1930. The bubbles you see along the edges is the glass de-laminating due to age and exposure, but does not compromise the "safety" unless it all comes apart.

You'd be fine with what you've got until you can't stand the way it looks.

Sweet... Looks like I may just need door glass as it's cracked and has a hole

Well... I ordered replacements from Classic Truck Glass. Just the standard replacement set, not the vent window elimination kit. I'll take some pics once it gets here.
