Here's the best deal around:

P S Autoglass Inc.

Editor's Note: my guy at Safelite Auto Glass says the windshield is still available at most any large glass places - he quoted the part number while standing there looking at a rock chip I was getting repaired. BTW - not a bad way to go to repair a small chip or crack.

Replacing the windshield on my daily driven '66 was a huge experience. The following is a list of costs and suppliers:

Part

Number

Supplier

Cost

Glass 0.25" Safety Glass Glass Masters or any local shop $125.00
Rubber Gasket # 40-0448-50 Steele Rubber $137.40
Trim Molding Clips # 1000081A R/T Specialties $24.00
Glazing Compound # 496-8509-96 Steele Rubber $9.70
Clear Sealer # 496-8551-96 Steele Rubber $10.80
Skill and Patience # 0 higherpower priceless

Steele Rubber suggests trimming the gasket where it rides over the clips but this is not always necessary. They also admit that the curve in the lower corners is not exact and may result in some buckling of the rubber inside where it lays on the dash.

There are many details an installer will perform, but this is the installation sequence.
1. Clean the area completely.
2. Apply the glazing compound around the opening.
3. Place the rubber gasket in the opening on the compound.
4. Put the glass in at the bottom first and work the gasket into place moving to the top.
5. Apply the clear sealer between the glass and the rubber.
