WINDSHIELD! That seemed like a pretty big accomplishment to get to the stage of needing a windshield!

I went with Pilkington. Unfortunately, you can no longer clear from them, just ones with the shade/brow at the top, but I think the look turned out fine. I used original shallow trim scavenged from Dwayne that I had a metal polishing company polish up for me. I also went with a gasket from a company called Steele Rubber. It was recommended by my installer (he has 30 years experience and grew up in SoCal customizing these trucks) and when I compared it to the Precision gasket (and I love the precision products), the Steele gasket was far superior. Turns out its made 8 miles from my house in Denver NC. A really good product.

Stainless wipers from GMCPaul finished it off.
