I'm looking to buy my glass, windshield, rear, and door glass. Is one reseller better than another? I'm looking at LMC, Brothers and American Classic. LMC is the cheapest. They all charge about $100 to ship via trucking (ouch!)
Thanks, David

I agree with checking with the local shops. I just had a windshield put in by a local shop and including installation it was less than the list price in the catalogs for the glass alone.

One other suggestion... Tell them you want a windshield manufactured by PILKINGTON. The first windshield my shop tried to put in was Chinese made and was 1/2 inch too wide for the cab and would never seal right.

Pilkington does offer glass for classics, however for Chevy & GMC trucks they only mfg. for 1964 and up.

Thanks Guys, I will check with my local Glass shops for pricing. My truck is a 57 Chevy stepside, so it sounds like Pilkington isn't made for that year. Any other good brands you can recommend? Dave

I had my Pilkington windshield installed a week ago my truck is a 55 2nd series so it is available ....check with your local companies to see if they carry them

It looks like the part number may be DW407

Just checked mine, it's a Pilkington, too. Yes, the # is DW407. I had a local glassshop put it in. Cost under $200 installed. I did have to provide my own gasket, though.
