Auto City Classic. Copy pasted from their e-bay store: We have specialized in and distributed classic auto glass for over 30 years. We work with individual customers, professional builders and other major dealers. We know what we are doing and we stand behind our product with customer service that cannot be matched. We offer LOF date coding, custom smoke grey glass, original EZ-Eye green, as well as many other products such as aluminum radiators, power window kits and more.

I've used 3 sets of LOF dated glass from Autocity and they've always been great to deal with. It's always packed and well protected in their shipping cartons. Should also mention that it fits quite well too.

I also was disappointed that Pilkington got out of the market.

My local auto glass guru who does the bulk of the old car glass in the area tells me that all old car glass comes through AutoCity no mater who you buy from?
He says they will do logos etched on inside or etched on outside, and read from inside or read from outside, (reference your original glass) same as Pilkington always did.
My gripe with them is on a '67 Chevelle windshield they want to rotate the logo too far clockwise (away from level). Also, they once sent me an El Camino rear glass with the logo 2 inches off center. :hmmm:

Thanks for the input guys. Called auto city today and to no surprise what I need is back ordered with no ETA. So I guess I wait. Also bummed they only offer tinted side glass and I need non tinted.

My rear window has also been on back-order for quite some time, likely sitting on a container ship in the LA harbor :rolleyes2: I've seen a lot of original glass for sale on FB of all places. The market place search is horrible but might be worth checking.
