Just finished that grandly enjoyable process yesterday.......the least fun thing I have done in a LONG time. Should I bend the metal channel in at a couple spots to pinch it in place? It seems like the factory had it pinched in a spot or two.

Other progress:

Cab repair panels installed. All is painted but the box and doors. 3 point seatbelts installed. floor mat and padding installed. Transmission cover plate repaired and mounted. Engine painted.

Next up: King pins, brake rebuilding, seatcovers, and reassembly of front end.

I'll post pics when I have them.

Yes please pics, especially if you have converted to one piece windows.
How do you get the glass in the channel with the setting tape an window sash. You can pull my glass out by hand
