56 windshield
What would be the cost to have a windshield replaced on my 56 f-100?
A guy that is here replacing the windshields on our 2 Explorers, has a buddy that will put in a new windshield for $195. Labor and glass (I have the gasket)
I thought just the glass would be around $300 by it's self.
If you could get back to me ASAP it would be greatly appreciated.
thx,
George

225.00 installed in short order full guarantee. PPG manufactured. Took all of 3 minutes using my Dennis rubber and my polished SS trim. Never a leak, used no sealants. Rubber was lubed with linseed oil and cleaned up well.

I'll save it just for you Morris. Have a nice trip. And as a bonus, June is a good time of year way down here.

Hi CIAF,
Is linseed oil a good solvent for the gaskets?
Does it sweel at all or just for a slipcoat?
Probably try it when I get to that point in time.
Does anyone have a picture of the mystery tool that is used for installation?
Thanks.

The tool is clothesline rope. I watched the guys put mine in in under a minute once the rubber and trim was on the windshield and the rope was in the channel. These guys do classic trucks and cars all the time and are a team so it went ever so smooth. No bis secret to put one in yourself, I just did not want to do it myself anymore.

I think CO is nice any time of the year except during a real heavy duty snow fall.
One of these days I may yet return.

It`s sounding more like a quick trip with the 05 F350 and the 56 on a
trailer.

what kind of condition is it in? (not to sound picky)
Mine's in good shape, just pitted from 52 years of use. No cracks, or fog (just old).
I'm in Lemon Grove, so EC isn't far at all.

I saw the pictures in your gallery of all the chrome goodies. Are you doing an IFS on your truck right now?
If so, what are you doing with your front end set up? (axle, brakes, steering, and leafs?)
I have a 62 Falcon I want to turn into a straight axle gasser.
