What should I be looking at for a new windshield for my 1970 F100? Probably won't be going through the insurance company, as I have a 250 deductible...

I would contact Carlite directly...they may still have some for your truck. I got a price of around $125 for one for 73-79.

Hey Duncan,

Are they new windshields?

Duncan, was that price shipped?

Those were new windshields made by the company that supplies them for Ford and no, that wasn't a shipped price.

Thanks Duncan. Will call them when I get to the house.

The 67-72 windshields are the same as 73-79...

Thanks man!!!

To get one done in the bronco was 195 with a new locking bead but they were able to re use the old gasket its also got the blue tint strip on the top of the glass so that raised the price some.

That's correct, but...the windshield weatherstrips are not the same, and there are two different types for 1967/72's.

C7TZ-8103110-A .. Windshield Weatherstrip-Use without stainless steel w/shield reveal mouldings: 1967/72 F100/750.

C7TZ-8103110-B .. Windshield Weatherstrip-Use with stainless steel w/shield reveal mouldings: 1967/72 F100/750.

Originally there were two different windshields, clear and tinted. Today, another is available...the Sun Band type.

A Sun Band is a tinted w/shield with extra tint across the top. Note: If you are tall, you may not want a Sun Band. Tryin' to see thru that extra tint...at night...can be a real b!tch!

I found this out after I installed a Sun Band in my '65 F100.

btw: Any autoglass shop can order any of these w/shields. Carpenter has the w/strips.

spoke with a few local shops and ended up getting one installed out the door for $228. Thanks guys for all your help...

By the way, NC does not require an inspection sticker for vehicles older than 35 years, so I really didn't have to get a new one, but it will be nice not to see those cracks...

CA does not require an inspection sticker for anything, cuz there are no safety inspections here.

CA does require 1976 and newer vehicles to pass a smog test, so that means that...

Once they pass, they can head on down the road with maypop tires, next to no brakes, leaking fluids, cracks in the glass, or no glass...at all, wandering steering, worn out suspension/shocks, and a gazillion other sins.

Ridiculous!

NC does have an emissions test for vehicles 1996 and older.
