Best way to transport a 64-66 Barracuda back glass

View attachment 1715108167 View attachment 1715108168 i need a back glass to replace the one in my car. The previous owner tied a tarp with bungy cords over it and left it in the West Texas spring wind. It scratched the glass over a large area, to the point you can feel it with your finger nail. I have found a few glasses, but always 2-400 miles away. So I have to go get one, or two, but will be hauling it in the bed of a 2500 Ram truck. So what kind of rack or cradle would you use to get it safely home? I have seen the pvc pipe racks that glass trucks use, but I’m not sure standing it up would be my best option.
Any help or pictures would be appreciated.


I'd go to the store and get a couple "pool noodles" . or pipe insulators. the edges are the weakest part of the glass and most prone to break it. . Slit the noodle on one side and slide it over the all the edges. duck tape the noodles to hold it on and lay it on a folded thick blanket "noodles" down to save the surface from scratching (I did put one on top too but just for a bit of protection from the straps rubbing) and strap it down just enough to hold it from sliding. I carried one front and rear from a "64 rust bucket cuda" that way for 1200 miles in the bed of a bouncy 3/4 ton d250 diesel pickup that's not the smoothest ride in the world unloaded or even lightly loaded. The edges of the rear backglass fit into the dips in the bed just like it was made to fit, front was a bit harder to position so I just taped the fully wrapped,noodled and covered front to the top side of the blanketed rear window curve side pointing down so I didn't make a " lifting wing" out of it.
