Regarding my dilemma with the cab glass on our 53 3-ton... per your advice I found a local shop that would make the flat glass (it took some digging). If anyone is interested the company is called 'Glass on the Move' out of Oakland, CA. Got the pieces we needed by the next day and they were exact. Boy, was it much easier to put them in. Thank you to all for pointing me in that direction.

ovrtrqd, I'm curious as to what it cost on the west cost for the windshield glass. Curious minds wants to know. I got my side windows and vent glass cut for $100 bucks but that was a year or so ago...how about the windshield?
