Sorry, I lost the original post.
I assume that the 55 1st GMC windshield is the same as my 55 1st Chevy.
My truck has a crack clear across it. I figured, I'll have to order one
from the catalogs (for about $175.00), plus shipping. Then I'll have to
find a glass man to come on site and install it. Well, I found the glass
man and gave him a call. Just out of the blue I asked if he might be able
to get a windshield for me. He asked for what truck. When I told him it
was for a 1955 Chevy 1st series, he said "well that's kind of old. , give me
a few minutes to check and i'll call you back". In less than five minutes
he called and said "Yeah I can get it". Holding my breath I asked "How
much?" He said "$135.00 plus you'll need new rubber, that's $40.00 and
since you have the deluxe cab with the stainless steel trim, I need a
helper, that's $20.00 extra". I saod "so that's about $200.00?" He said
"$195.00 installed on site"
I forgot, that even though this truck is 45 years old, it was a very popular
style and that glass is something that will always nee to be replaced. By
asking what i thought was a dumb question, I saved over $150.00. Good luck
