'79 Bronco tailgate glass

I found out the hard way what safety glass is today.

I broke the tailgate glass of my 1979 Bronco while trying to install it.

Is there a good source for a replacement?

Thanks!

Ben

Thanks.

No The glass goes 78-79, past this is a little fuzzy too me right now, but, 80-86, 87-96. I think.
I did the same thing on my 83 when putting it back in. Be ready too spend some money cause that glass is rare. Rare stuff = $$$$$
Good luck.

Thanks for the responses. So it appears that I will have to pay the big $$$ to get new glass. Oh well, that's the risk of the trade, I suppose. I had just installed a new motor and all.

If new glass cost too much, maybe I'll go with a soft top...
