Windshield Update
A while back I was looking for input in regard to a windshield that didn't fit properly in my '57 F100.
I had to take a little time off to deal with a couple of kidney stones, and now I can finish the story.
A couple of you responded and Daryl provided a phone number of the vendor he used for his glass.
We removed the windshield and set it in place without the rubber and found it was about 5/16" too short at the top and maybe more like 3/8" at the passenger side top corner. This was the second AGP windshield we had tried. The body shop doing the work for was able to verify (by calling the number Daryl provided)that LOF did make one and was able to get one.
Yesterday, we installed the new one and it fits great.
Thanks to those of you who responded. I really enjoy this forum

Hey Daryl, you may have helped him, but now I am worried that my windshield in the storage shed won't fit when I get to that point. I never knew that some were cut too small! So, way to go. I probably won't get a wink of sleep until I get to trial fit it, LOL. Signed: paranoid John in Sacramento.
