http://53truck.ez15loan.com/howto/windshield.htm ...this link was in an old link but has since gone away does anyone recognize it ? Suppose to be info on glass install. I am like so many others who have had issues putting new glass in their trucks. Mine has the chrome molding which is a pain for sure just looking for some direction.

Haven't found anything that might be your dead link specifically, but there a ton of how-to videos out there. Some by vendors and others just someone who's done it before.

Since you live in NC, try https://www.pfaffsautoglass.com if they are not too far from your location.
I'm not trying to make this business out of anything but what it is. These guys have been around a long time.
They have experienced a lot from antiques, street rods to brand new Subaru's with rock chip cracking issues from the dealership.
Their are not cheap but they use the good glass, windshield rubber and sealants.

I assume you are talking about chrome mounding on the windshield?
It's actually stainless and the windshield rubber must be correctly made (not the cheap stuff) for it or it will never fit properly.

I used a rubber from The Filling Station and all went very well and easily. Here are some tips: IGNORE ANYTHING YOU SEE ON YOUTUBE. Most of that is pure junk and some of it is dead wrong. Have a helper. Use two pieces of nylon twine...mine was about 2.5mm in diameter but anything close to that will work. Assemble the glass into the rubber and then install the stainless trim pieces in after that. Use Dawn to lubricate the rubber and set the assembly carefully in place so that you catch the bottom edge in first. Then have your helper press where you're working as you pull in on your twine (to pull the lip in over the pinchweld. Follow around each side until you have the lip nicely over the pinchweld fully and then adjust. If you look, you'll find what I did to eliminate any puckered corners and make it look like new. It is posted here on this section. I also posted how I made a ball hook...you just have to search. TechTips are sort of out of date here. This procedure took me about 15 or 20 minutes. Then install the center stainless piece and pull that up tight. And then use the right sealer to seal both the outside of the rubber and where it connects to the glass. You can use 3M 08509 on the outside flap (mask carefully around to make clean-up easier) and 3M 08693 to seal the rubber to the windshield glass. 08509 never hardens and is what a commercial glass company would use. 08693 does harden. Too bad you're so far away. If you were here I'd drive over and help. Good luck.

Here is one post I left about smoothing corners: https://tinyurl.com/2p9dm4kd

If you need to install rear and corner window rubber and if you have the stainless-look lock strips, please let me know. I also posted on how to do that correctly (without ruining the lock strip). A completely different process...
