The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop 54 windshield source

I see lots of guys complain about windshields that are too big or don't fit for some reason. Has anybody tried bob's out of Oregon?

Got the tinted windshield for my 56 through Brothers. Cost $238.... plus $120 for shipping. Weatherstripping from Chevy Duty ($24.). Had a local guy install it for $20. Fits fine.

I never checked locally with the auto glass guys to see if they could do it. You may want to try them first.

I think it is "luck of the draw" on 1954 windshield glass, especially if you want to use the stainless inserts. If you are not using the stainless inserts, you should not have problems.

The problem with the '54 glass and the stainless inserts is either that the glass patterns have gotten a little larger over the years or that the curve of the glass has to closely match the curve of the window opening (and the curve of the stainless trim). With the stainlness trim in place, there is very little "fudge-space (wiggle-room)".

Tim/Larry,
Thanks for the replies. I don't have the inserts so maybe it will be ok. Taking off this pm for a week or so and won't reply until back. Thanks again. Sounds do able.
