I had one new side window, so I took that to a local glass shop. They quoted about $80 for one. I don't think he really wanted to mess with it. So I got one from LMC truck for about $60 shipped (I think.) Shipping from LMC was way cheaper than MidFifty. Maybe because they are only 3 hours away from me and MidFifty is across the country.

Bill, thanks for bringing this thread back up.
Here's what I did.
The windshield stayed in place for the paint job.
The rear window came out for painting and a new rubber. My body man tried putting it in without me there. On the phone he told me he couldn't get it in. I asked him if he put it in from the inside to out. He said no. And he asked if I had the right rubber. I said yes, the large lip is on the inside. He had it wrong! I get there and he says the glass is stuck. He can't get it out. I showed him the directions from Mid Fifty I left him lying on the truck bed... unread I suppose. Well next time I went there the glass was lying on the bed, cracked. So the rear glass was replaced.... and paid for by him.
The vent glass: I had Safelite put new glass in.
Sorry for the delayed update!
