How long do you have until your deployment? |
About two months, my goal is to get the cab in good shape before I leave. Currently it leaks, which is why it started rusting, I'm planning on pulling the front and rear glass, repairing the drivers side rust and the rust hole in the roof skin.
Any tips on removing the stainless windshield trim without damaging it? Do I need a spcial tool? Currently I plan on cutting the windshield seal since it is almost as old as the truck but the stainless steel trim is in excellent shape and just needs a polish.
Any lead on a good supplier for the windshield rubber for trim? I have heard good things about steele rubber. Also The current rust issue on the drivers side and luckily not the passeneger side was due to water leaking at the windshield rubber pooling up on the dash and seaping/dripping onto the floor, I'm assuming the installer never used any kind of putty or compound between the metal and the seal
My dad's on a cruise but when he gets back he is going to scan me some old family photos with the truck I will post up
