window woes

i have a 69 f-250 camper special and it runs but doesn't move yet that's all a matter of a car transmission in a truck, i can deal with that, but the previous owner got mad at his wife and threw a boat oar through the back window and smacked the front window. a while ago when i first got the truck it was only a hundred bucks to fix the windshield but it got busy with life and put it on the backburner now that i have a little time i was quoted 500 bucks to fix the windshield that's what i paid for the truck. are the windshields easy to fix in these? or should i leave it up to the professionals? then i get to fix the back window. it used to have a slider but half of it is gone and replaced by a piece of plywood.

Windshield is the same: 1967/72 F100/750, 1973/79 F100/880, 1978/79 Bronco.

But the windshield weather strip is 1967/72 F100/750 only and there are two different types. With or without stainless steel windshield reveal mouldings.

dremtoffroad When you replace the windshield the Bottom goes in first. If you have the trim around your windshield, it go's onto the gasket first then you put the windshield into your truck. When I replace mine I'm going to let the pro's do it. That way if it breaks it's on them not me.
