thats outrageous!!!!!!
i get $20 for a full glass ( of course to california shipping would be astronomical) but its so simple to put in a window almost anyone could do it. A gasket couldnt cost more than $15 bucks or so could it?

Heres what ya do you pull out the center strip of the gasket on the center of the outside of the gasket
push out at a corner carefully ( or if youre replacing the gasket just take a good blade and cut the part by the glass and pop out the old window and throw away the old gasket)
once ya get the old window out, clean out the whole area on the body there.
Take WD40 or some light oil or even vaseline and put some liberally but not dripping on the inside and outside part of the window area
put some of the same in the window gasket where it mounts to the cab.
place the new window into the new gasket
take a light rope kinda like a heavier kite string (Nylon usually works good and make a lasso out of it that ya put into the gasket slit where it seals up to the cab so that the string part is at the bottom center of the window
put the window and gasket in to the bottom of the cab opening and have someone hold it there
using a screwdriver ya work as much of the gasket into the window frame as ya can going easy pivoting it in there you should get about two thirds of the way then ya start using the lasso pull it out SLOWLY and work the gasket into the remainder of the cab your friend in the bed should push slightly on the window to seat it while youre doing the lasso thing
once this is in replace the center strip of the gasket and youre done
average this whole thing should take a half hour if that trust me its easy!!
