I started going through all of the door components after the doors were hung on the truck. Here are a few of the things that need to be done to make them complete.

-The window regulators were toast on this truck and needed to be replaced with new ones (got them ordered and installed in both doors)
-The door handles needed to be cleaned up really good with steel wool. there was a boatload of red primer on the chrome. Also cleaned off the old gaskets and sprayed it down on the backside with Awesome cleaner and scrubbed the you-know-what out of it.
-The rear door channels were a little rusty so got them cleaned up and treated with some rust reformer and a coat of paint.
-The bottom of the window sash on both windows was rusty and had hard crusty dried grease. That was cleaned up with a brass wire wheel on a drill and the metal was treated with Ospho, and then painted.
-The wind wings were ragged and needed to be blown apart and rebuilt with new rubber kit from Precision.
-Also ordered all rubber for inner door items and gaskets for handles and new locks.

Here are a few pictures of the process of rebuilding the wind wings. Every time I do a set I learn something new that makes them a little easier to do. This time I used a green hard plastic window install tool mounted upside down in my vise, this was super helpful in getting the grooved rubber seated into the corner of the channel.
