A Painter's tip for W.Brown :
When re painting with the backlight and windshield in place , , raise up the outer lip of the old rubber & tuck some electrical wire or 1/4" nylon rope underneath it ~ this will hold it up so your sanding , blocking & so on , will " feather " and remove that nasty old lip of built up paint etc. , leave it there when you paint too and remove it (CAREFULLY !) a few days after you paint it , this makes the edge looks nice and smooth , even with nasty old dried up rubber , helps prevent leaks and makes it easier to replace the rubber later when you get sufficient $ to buy new rubber and glass..... This is one old Used Car Lot trick I learned to make turds look much better.... Removing the door handles , always is another simple thing that will pay HUGE dividends later when the new paint doesn't chip/peel 'round then handles in a year ....... Your truck is looking good . 10 Ring ~ you're truck is actually rather rust free ~ the core support & inner fender rust is common due to battery leakage even here in the Desert , keep at it .
