Correct Windshield Data for 1960 1002
Hello, I have a cracked replacement windshield on my 1960 GMC 1002 pickup truck. I have a line on a Pilkington Glass Co. windshield, in Coke Bottle Green tint, or clear. Does anyone have a known original early production 1960 GMC Windshield? Or some factory code for the etched in markings? I also need there placement and which way they are readable. Were the original windshields truly clear, or as I suspect, did they have the very slightly Coke Bottle green hue. I want to get this as correct as I can to original. My truck was number 1392 built at Pontiac Plant, and was a Custom with the Stainless Trim around windshield. The original owner took delivery at the factory in fall of 1959. He is 91, and is a friend of mine, a WWII vet and a good guy. Heck, he even signed my glove box door once I got it all painted and back together. He ordered the truck with the extra chrome and two-tone paint,Cape Blue and Olympic White. All back to factory spec except for windshield. Help Appreciated.
