Thanks for looking in. I've got to find a painter. It appears to be about a 6 month back log at all the paint shops.

I agree. I've got the truck legal to drive but there is still a lot to do. Several things I need to wait on until after paint such as the bed wood and some seals, etc, on the doors. Thanks for checking in.

What I did was pinch that bottom metal in the vice so it just fit the glass. I then used windshield urethane to fasten the glass instead of the rubber. If you go to a glass shop at quitting time you can get part tubes of urethane for free because it just hardens up overnight.
And new window regulators are a
must. I thought my originals were good but they rattled and my drivers side window would come down a bit from road bumps.

Thanks for the info. I ended up buying a new driver's side regulator that I now have and will be working on installing the fuzzies on both doors. The pass. side regulator was completely rebuilt and is working good. Wish me luck on the fuzzies.
