Weather stripping...I may not be the smartest person....

But when I'm going East bound and the wind is out of the North, I get hit in the ear by a breeze....it MAY be time for some new seals.

Hey Fade, sounds like the easiest soultion would be to go west when the wind's out of the north. Save all your eastbound drivin' for those days when there's a south breeze.

No doubt.
I need to get busy and get my new/old seat in I got from ya. Trying to wait until I get my seat belt situation finalized. I have some black outer to replace the one white outer and generic left outer. But I still need to get replacement center pieces. I have them, just need to get them out of the cab.

I wouldn't say that either... I get a direct shot up the pant leg from the clutch linkage hole. Plus, the hole where the shifter cable wend from the floor shifter was in before I got it, plus the hole from the 3 speed shifter that was added on sometime in it's past life.

I'll get them all patched, but wanted to be able to drive it for a change.
