Re: Need a new windshield & green bbw for my 1957.

The Bobs link I gave was more for price exploration than a suggestion to buy from them. I can't find a photo of an actual store front business for them only a picture of a tin shed with a chain link fence around it.
Usually as I said there is an older long established glass shop in most areas that has the resources to get vintage rig glass at an honest price and has the people with the skills to install it right. That is where I would check first. Not the quicky slicky we change your windshield in 30 minutes or in the parking lot while you shop or work outfits but the real old school glass shops with the padded tables to cut glass on and people who really know autoglass.
That said one of the short list least favorite things to do on a car or truck is install glass. And that is one thing I don't mind paying to have done.
