Wrap around windshield
One thing I belive that the older trucks have is visibality. I think the wrap around windshield was a major benefit that I think companies should have kept. I know from expierence though there is a heafty price tag on a replacement, but compared to a more modern truck I personally would rather have a wrap around windshield.
I wonder why they got rid of them though if it was styling changes or maybe safety.

I feel that on late model trucks the A pillar is huge add a large mirror (dodge) and I find there is a very large blind spot looking forwarrd left.
As for price a new windshield for my 59 as $300.

I got mine at Speedy on 8th street from Harvey, about $140 if you want to install it yourself. Other wise it`s around $200 taxes in, both prices are for the tinted/shaded w/s.
Odessa maybe a couple of dollars less but too hard to deal with. I will never go back there again for any reason and Harvey/Speedy is just the best to deal with.
