Phil, I remade the windshields for my 12 cab myself.
It is actually quite easy, especially if you have an old junk one for a pattern.
I aquired some NOS M37 windshield frames (easy in the USA) and reworked them.
I discarded the brackets etc from them and cut them up into the proper shape. You will need to make a couple pieces from flatstock for the center piece.
I built a jig on a piece of 3/4" plywood and used woodscrews to secure in place.
Once all the pieces were secured and doublechecked for accuracy against the original, I simply tack welded it together using a TIG
welder.
I had the glass cut and mounted at a local glass shop.
