This is a favor and not what they normally do. They mass manufacture production windshields. They do not have the patterns for the glass. Does anyone know where I can get the patterns or an electronic file to send them. This is not cheap and I want to get it right. Thank you for any help you can give me. I'm not ready to remove the glass in my truck and don't know if it's original anyway.

Hope this helps! Thanks for the quick reply. I spoke to Jim Carter trucks and his supplier has discontinued the patterns for the 53. He hooked me up with Bobs custom auto glass at 800-624-2130. He said since I'm a veteran he will send them to me for free. He also discounts all steel rubber parts and makes his glass. Complete with tempering over and water jet cutter. Thank you so much for your help. I didn't want to lose this opportunity. Thank you for your time.
