When you order new glass, make sure you ask if its safety of just normal glass.

Probably was cut from a cut off piece at a glass shop. Stock lights of lami normally have one, sometimes two logos etched in the corner. Custom tempered will usually have a logo, but they are really faint in my experience. Since yours are cracked, they aren't tempered. I'm willing to bet a coffee they are laminated.

Suggest that you edit your signature to include the truck you're referring to if you only have one, or at least mention in your post which of your trucks you're referring to if you have more than one.

They will not have date markings (like the original glass). Some of those sellers are well-known and are reliable (some are listed, below): Classic Parts American Classic Parts Ecklers Chevs of the 40s Summit Racing Classic Industustries Bobs Chevy Truck Parts etc | | |
