I'm laughing only because that exact thing happened to mine and appears I have the same hood.
I called around a LOTS of places (local to me), but I was shocked at range of prices. I need to find my paperwork to recall the price, but I know some were as high as $550, but I know I spent less than half that and I supplied my own gasket to a small mom/pop shop.

1973 Bronco, 351 SEFI, Locked, discs, 35's ZF-5spd and Atlas 4spd. 235:1 Crawl Ratio. It may be ugly, but it's slow.

Just carefully push the glass out (Gloves and EYE PROTECTION!!!). You can order a new piece of glass and reinstall it yourself. I have seen them on Ebay for reasonable cost - or Wild Horses sells them. WH also has decent videos on their web site to show you how to install. If I was still in CO I would gladly help you out.

Damn you for leaving. I wanted to do my doors in tinted glass.

You say that now, but when you want to come up here for the "unevent" and some amazing fly fishing you won't be saying it then.
I do have a guy in Denver who can help you out when you are ready let me know. He will need a pattern so don't toss your old glass just yet.
