    I think that just denotes that the blue tint is "Mexico Only". But with the age of these trucks you could probably argue that the windshield was like that all along. ;)

    Rep I spoke to said they were mfg. in Mexico.

    I thought the same thing. That's why I contacted them for clarification.

    I didn't mean the shade on top, I meant the blue hue on the glass. Our glass tends to either be very clear or greenish hued (tinted).

    If you read the disclaimer under the picture of the windshield, its says may not look like the picture.
    You could contact them for clarification.
    Personally, I have no problem with a tinted windshield.

    I was able to find one through my local tint shop. Safelite auto glass also had them, but they wouldn't do the install on my '78 because of signs of rust. I have glass coverage insurance, its really cheap, so it was all covered. I even had the tint shop do a light tint on the windshield before installing it.

    Update on windshields........
    Price is still $195.00, but talked to representative"Curt". If you have it shipped to one of their service centers for pickup, it's only $50.00 for shipping. That's an excellent price.
    Their # 800-848-1351. Ask for Curt.
