No doubt others will have suggestions but here is one option that isn't all that far away fro you. http://www.vendio.com/stores/bobscla...4317488/page=3

Prices aren't bad but look close at the shipping They are in Eugene Oregon but I don't know if they have a walk in store. For what it looks like they want for shipping a road trip might work.
I'd check their prices and then check the prices locally through local glass shops to see what the difference might be.

Address on the webpage is for Blachly Oregon, about 30 mile NW of Eugene on the way to Triangle Lake if my memory is right. Might have a store in Eugene? Might also just be a third party and does not have any inventory.

like mr48 says. check the local glass shops for prices and also installation. you might ask if anybody there has experience as well. a TF windshield can be a real bugger to install so if you purchase and they install it is on them if it breaks. at least clarify that point before signing up. also, some "new" glass may need to be sanded down to fit properly in the opening. a glass shop would be able to do that on their water cooled belt sander. you may want to check the window rubber as well before ordering because they get hard and brittle which makes installing the glass even harder.

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.

Thanks for the links and suggestions.
I'm going to wait for the Kool april nite car show in Redding in a couple of weeks and ask there opinions...

[mr48chev]

Local opinion on which glass shop to go to or not go to is worthy.

I just got a new LMC catalog and they show 199.95 for the windshield and 249.95 for the back window. 125.00 freight and I don't know if they will ship both pieces in one box/crate or you pay 125.00 for each piece.

Looks like you are as far away from shops like Premier street rods, Brothers or other truck and rod trinket shops as I am making it a serious road trip to go after the pieces.

The Portland swap meet is this weekend an a buddy of mine is playing at the opening of the Island Cafe on the river in Portland Saturday and I can't make it down to either.
