Are you working with a 1955 First or Second Series truck?

Either one you working with curved glass. I expect that you will have to start with a full windshield and have it cut to fit the opening. I doubt if anyone will guarantee their work against breakage.

The other key is that they will probably not do the work until you have completed the metal work. When the pillars are at an angle that angle will change when you lower the top. So the edges of the glass have to change.

You might have to reach into the Nashville or Memphis area to find someone who does this type work. Even locally owned glass shops typically do not do this work.
