windshield question

I have a 76 F100. Does anyone know what year windshields will fit this? I assume 73 - 79 but how about anything newer?

The newer trucks are more plentiful at the junkyard.

I could probably call a glass shop, but it is Sunday

TIA,

Mark

73-79 will fit no problem. I have heard that the earlier models fit as well but don't know for sure.

1967/79 F100/350 (and 1978/79 Bronco) windshields are the same: D3TZ1003100A (clear) / D3TZ1003100B (tinted). NAGS part # W819 (NAGS: National Auto Glass Society).

But...the gasket used on 1967/72's is different than what was used 1973/79. The difference is in the corners.

A 1980 and later windshield will not fit a 1967/79.

I bought mine brand new from the junk yard. Called for a used one and they sold me a new for around $150. Just might check the yards for prices along with the glass shop.

Elite Auto Glass just a couple years back was $150 installed.

I got one for mine in a yard. Tinted with the tinted band across the top. It looked like some one had just replaced it and the truck was clean but got hit in the rear real hard. 35.00 out the door and I had a friend of mine install it for 30.00. He does mobile glass for a big company.

Valuable information, that. :)

One advantage to buying new and getting a new gasket is if the sucker leaks
it's on them to fix it. BTDT a few times in a row on the windshield I've got now,
took 'em three tries to get it right. :/

Wondering if I've got the right gasket now. LOL :)
I'm going to look at a bump-side next chance I get and see for myself.

I've changed lots of glass myself but never have the windshield on my '75.
Last two times was talked into paying the extra $25.
Like they said "it's insurance, if I break it, I buy it :)"

And...
"if it leaks you can do it over 'til you friggin get it right too! ;)"
LOL :)
