Anyone bought new glass from LMC?

My friend found some sanding marks on my drivers side door window. I see that LMC has the glass but I can't see it in person. Has anyone ordered one or seen one in person? I want to know if it's good quality.

I used LMC's tinted door glass in mine, it was as good as anybody's no complaints, then I got the front and back glass from a local shop because I didn't have to pay their high priced shipping.

I am curious about this as well. Eventually I need to get rid of my rear slider window for one piece glass.

Why buy from LMC and pay shipping charges, since...

The door glass is flat, so any auto glass shop can cut new glass from their glass stock.

Thanks for the idea, I hadn't thought about that..but small cow town living doesn't lead to competitive pricing. Only one glass shop in Laramie and they know it, really doubt they'll be any cheaper. I'm not in a rush so I will at least give them a call to see what they can do.

This question is not about LMC, but can anyone tell me what body components/ windows is the same in the 1957 F800 as opposed to the F100? Door glass, windshield doors, etc… Thanks!

Actually you are in the wrong forum. This is 1967/72. BUT, I hang here so I'll answer you.
Fenders, no. F700s and heavier had bigger diameter wheels.
Hood, no. F100 through 600 were the same.
Doors, yes. They fit 1957 through 1960 F series and T series 100/1100.
Roof, yes. That roof has the same application as the doors.
Cab back sheetmetal, yes. Also same application as the doors. As long as both have flat glass.
Door glass, vent windows, and windshield, yes. Again, same application as above. But listings of clear or tinted.
Back glass, yes. But they have choices of flat glass or wrap around. Clear only listed.
