I have not been doing much to my truck for the past few weeks, so today I decided to bring it in the shop pressure clean the undercarriage, undercoat it, change the rear differential oil and begin intalling some parts that I have been meaning to replace. Boy there was a reason why I had waited a while to start with it. I decided to replace all the marker lites (easy part) gas tube rubber on the cab, new windshield, door weatherstrips,vent window seals, inner and outer belt moldings, inner and outer door handles & a new dimmer switch. Well it is unbelievable the rigs that people do instead of doing them correctly from the get go, as I fix one wire I find another that needs attention, at this pace maybe I should just rewired the whole thing anyways it is alive at this point. I tell you one thing leads to another so here I am after about four hours non stop I said ok this is enough and I will continue tomorrow. I wanted to share some picts of some of the work in process ....

I am replacing the channel gasket and weatherstrip and it is a Pain in the butt you have to drill out rivets and dissasemble almost the whole thing to do this no wonder it had never been done.
