Good question, fordman... I've been really curious about the green-tinted glass. Was the smoke-color tint even a real option?

Also, if anyone has it, does it feel like you're driving a coke bottle? :lol:

most of the glass shops only sell the tinted anymore, i had the one on a 72 f600 wrecker replaced a couple years ago and they told me the clear were being discontinued because nearly everybody wants the tinted glass now and also the new glass is slightly thinner than the old factory stuff in our trucks.

you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.

I just bought new tinted glass through LMC. They still offer clear and Tinted in the catalog. Not like it mattered to me since I will tint mine anyways.

The factory offered the 'tinted windshield' or 'tinted all around' option(s) on all '67-'72 trucks.

I had both my side windows shot out and and both my wing windows were busted so they could get tools. Well when I went to get the side windows they told me no more clear in my 69. Then I got the wing windows they said we can't get them anymore but I can cut them out of tempered glass do you want them in green?

Hell yes. Dragon Electric is my company and the Head dragon should be green.
