Hi, Barry!
The top threaded rod screws into a metal fitting that is riveted to the top
of the windshield. The fitting is normally covered by the rearview mirror.
If you have this type of fitting, then you will also need the nut for the
bottom end of the rod, Vicky B part number 14-504 (item 21 on page 58 of
catalog SM.27).
The type of rod described by Chuck Ciaffone in his response to your
question would appear to be different from the top threaded rod. My '73
and two spare windshields (one from a '72) use the top threaded type. You
need to determine whether you have the metal fitting or the "blob of black
plastic" at the top of the windshield.
