I belive they would have one, If you want an original Carlite green tint windshield expect to pay around 400 bucks

Safelite auto glass is where i got mine.... 249 + tax

i supplied the new seal from Dennis Carpenter, another 50.

I have one from the parts truck, its not perfect but its not cracked,

crawler, Sandblasting & brittle is an issue with some the old glass, check your local for new glass price. A few bucks more can give you a better view.
