Windshield
Tonight I find myself in need of a windshield for my 65 F100. What is the availability look like? Cost? I have insurance but a $200 deductable.
I happened to go by Rubber the Right Way and pick up the seal on Friday so I've got that going for me.
I also got the fuel filler gromit and a pair of custom cab door badges. All for about a hundred box

The hardest part is getting that stainless trim to stay put.

I had difficulty finding a tinted, but not banded, windshield. I rode in a friend's truck with the banded version and found it very distracting, so I knew what to avoid. Make sure you know what you're getting, if it matters to you.
I could not find one that was not Chinese.

The NE local portland glass got me one in a day for less than $120 inc tax. Mine has the green strip and if I wanted a clear one it would've taken a few days longer. The only thing missing was the option to get the tinted green with the strip, I thought that would look nice on my chrome yellow truck but I could only find those mail order and they were prohibitively expensive. My truck was not ready for it and I've done a few so I'm not too worried about breaking it but as azscawpion points out there is a big benefit to having them put it in, they would've done mine for that same price with the same warranty.

After breaking the original windshield I decided to have the auto glass shop order and install the windshield, I brought the DC gasket and windshield trim and they used a non-hardening sealant. This was several years ago and no leaks. Although fellow commuters thought it strange I thought it was kinda cool driving to the shop wearing googles. Cost $150 for the windshield and $80 for the install.

good used 50-100.00
here I can buy new aftermarket for 79.00
bought remaining stock from Carlite warehouse so have 6 NOS ones when need arises.
if custom cab & it’s your first one hire it out. Might be good time to polish trim once out.

I'm in San Diego. I was already planning on having my Glass guys do the job, it has been leaking since I bought the truck but has only rained a couple of times, so I was putting it off. I had Friday off and was in the area where Rubber the Right Way is so I swung by and got the seal, my glass guys said they were the best fitting. I just wasn't planning on buying the glass unless they broke it of course. It is a custom cab, the trim will get polished and whatever rust might be there will get taken care of at that time. I just put my BMW back together so I could park the truck for a week or so and take care of the brake upgrade, dual master but that's it, and find out what happened with my king pins..
