I installed my 71 with trim with help of my daughter & son. After the truck was painted we did both the front and back slider. It wasn't that bad and neither of them have leaked in 3 years now.
U have to take your time and I used plenty of soapy water for the rubber. I bought some of the plastic knives the glass guys use.
I installed the rope into the rubber and put the bottom in first to help hold the weight. This didn't work out to well so we pulled it back out after about half way. We then started at the top and it was a little more trouble but went in better at the top corners.
U can see the window sticker in the picture.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
