AZKen, I feel like a knat on a Elephants back on here. It seems I know less and less than I thought I knew, with every visit. Certainly humbling. But I am glad to have a forum to be able to ask about this minutia infinitum, and not be asked to step quietly into the padded truck. Hope its a GMC too, so I know what to look for, ha,ha. By the way, you swigged in reverse order. Always swig first. Later, Greg Mead

Greg, you have a nice truck and don't blame you for wanting it correct. Don't pay attention to my jealousy.
Ken

Well I spoke with the fellow at Pilkington Glass today. They zipped me these date codes for 1958-1969. I do not know if they are GM wide, just GMC, or what. They seem to jive with what BarryGMC told me. TY for August 1959 and AY for Sept. 1959. I assume the month comes first and the year comes second. Hope the code helps somebody else out. Later, Greg Mead

Forgot to mention, they do still actually sandblast the info onto the glass, just like in the old days.

OK, They can blast this on my glass tomorrow,i f I have it right. I think the date code is reversed. I believe it should read "TY" ,T for August, Y for 1959. Is this code read left to right: Month Year ? If so, TY is correct and YT was backwards.
Are there any other glaring mistakes that anyone can see? I sure want to get it right before I tell him to blast it. Thanks for every ones input on this, Greg Mead
