Crashtd420 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I'm not sure you have to unless they are really bad.... I have a few on mine as well.... take a picture maybe it not as much of an issue as you think.... I had a couple places saved but this is the only one that shows it still https://www.vendio.com/stores/bobsclassicautoglass/item/foreign-glass-datsun-glass/1965-1966-1967-1968-1969-1970-/lid=43675933 I think you need to call to see what type is available... I'm hoping the source doesn't dry up but the time I need one... 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) www.sandersreproglass.com I haven't personally used these guys, but a fellow roadster person just bought one and said it is very nice. They wrap it in a bag, put it in a box, and then fill it with spray foam. If you have it shipped to a business with a dock, you'll save a bit of money.

KELMO Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Well, this is fortunate. The 521 I just pick up needs a windshield as well. Got a quote from Vintage Class (vintageglass.com) for $345.00. 2 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 To follow up, I just picked up a windshield for my 521. I ordered it through the above-mentioned site on Monday and picked it up on Tuesday. The warehouse was within 50 miles of my house. It was located in Albuquerque NM so if you are in SF it should be relatively easy to get. 1 Quote Link to comment
Slow Loris Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 So about $600 after shipping? I guess they have us over a barrel. Would be neat be able to see out of the truck I suppose.. Quote Link to comment

Also, the place where all of the cracks intersect is smack dab in my line of vision. Edited March 8 by KELMO 2 Quote Link to comment

The gouge in the glass is right in front of my face. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I just managed to find OEM glass at a local junkyard in NY state ,of all places, using car-part.com. $135 after tax. Truck came with new gaskets. Quote Link to comment
Slow Loris Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Yeah I’ve got a nice cloudy delaminating bubbly thing going on, looks like I’m either underwater or in a cloud of smoke, plus a nice long crack makes me pretty keen on a new windshield. 10 hours ago, KELMO said: No, $345.00 plus tax.
