Took the windshield out and the truck came with it...

This is pretty bad and I can only find one person in Ventura County willing to do the work. He's asking 2k which I think is fair since it's on both sides and a bit on top plus nobody else will do it. I've been looking everywhere for a prefabbed corner piece because they plan to hand form it and I'm coming up empty handed. Any suggestions/experience?

Thanks!

Maybe find a wrecked donor truck and cut out what you need and have it welded in?

If you want it done right, may have to fork out the $$$, or like 87-4runner says ^^^. If on tight budget, IF, and only IF, the holes are not where the glass is glued on to, try fiber and epoxy repair. Someone has a thread on that here.

I bet everyone's first-gen comes with that. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...-maker-107858/

Jeep did it right on the newish Wranglers. No trim to catch, trap dirt, moisture and promote rust.

Getting the pieces needed from a wrecking yard would be easy. Getting them properly welded in may not be. As you're finding out, body shops have greatly changed their practices around insurance company policies and procedures. Even something as fairly straight forward as a complete paint job is now viewed as a bottleneck in their operations.
You can look at a online epc and see how Toyota once sold the sheet metal. That would give you an idea on how Toyota thought metal could be safely replaced. I only bring this up as the "A" pillar is critical for cab integrity in a rollover.
One option is to simply seal the holes ,repairing the channel with fiberglass or plastic filler, and then installing a in-cab cage or rollbar.
