Re: Project: Recycle
Off topic, but do you feel that it is stable enough to use on trim holes? It seems like it might come back to haunt you later.

The instructions say to weld the replacement panel at the ends (depending on the type of adhesive bonding material used). I don't think it replaces welding completely, but used properly it works well. There are a lot of OEM applications as well.

Re: Project: Recycle
I went by the shop today. The truck has the doors hung & is just sitting there waiting on glass. The glass guy has what he needs; we're just waiting on windshield seals that I was told I'd have by Wednesday. I got the 'cab kit' w/all the door & cab weatherstrip needed for assembly.
I grabbed all the door hardware & brought it home. After work tomorrow I plan to thoroughly clean everything & see how many of the existing parts I can re-use (I got hit w/2K in unexpected expenses in the last week so no power windows for now). I sourced the cab insulation (Hush mat) & should have it early next week. I still need to order a carpet kit but I can @ least get started prepping for the interior re-assembly. No final decision on the gauges but still leaning heavily toward an aftermarket 6-gauge set-up in the OE cluster bezel. I sprayed the air-ride control panel w/some VHT wrinkle finish paint. It turned out decent & I'll possibly use that finish on more items before it's all said & done. I'll also be calling some local sandblast places this week & see if I can swing getting the chassis parts uniform. It makes the painted parts look so much better . . .....

Re: Project: Recycle
I thought you were going to powder coat all the parts. What happened there?

I did bring home the door glass & regulators over the weekend to get them cleaned & prepped for re-install. But, if it wasn't for bad luck.... The drivers side regulator has to be replaced (worn regulator shaft & broken spring/locating tab for the regulators operation) & both pass/driver side vent window frame have rusted through the frame channel. Now I have to find these parts or???? I'm @ a stand still beyond that as the shop is still off limits for working on chassis related stuff. I can't drill, grind, or work because stuff is on or against my frame/tools or the entire area is wet/washed down from chem spills. I wanted to get the motor/trans installed to check the trans c.member off the list.... Too much 'stuff' in the way of my stuff.

I may have a set of these laying around. I will have to look this weekend. They may need cleaning/painting, but should not be rusted. I will see if I can find them. If I do find them, you are welcome to them.

Re: Project: Recycle
Update. . ... Fresh front & back glass is installed. Bad news is the rear gasket is not co-operating & bunched up on the lower 90° corners. He tried to work the offending areas but the soapy residue was limiting progress. He's going to give it a day or two to dry out & work it some more. He's an 'old school' glass guy that's retired but likes to keep busy w/side work. He's confident we'll get the wrinkles worked out.....
I'm still trying to find the vent window frames (both sides on mine are rusted through in a different area each side). The window seals/rubbers should be here early in the week to start re-assembly on the door guts. The cab insulation arrived, but it came w/the silver/foil liner vs. the black liner that I wanted. We'll get that exchanged next week & should have some pic worthy progress!

Re: Project: Recycle
Not much progress.... I pulled the vent window glass from their respective frames to investigate the possibility of 'patching' the rusted areas of the frames. The amount of force it took to remove the glass tweaked one of the frames pretty bad as the rust was really bad.
I'm not considering the new re-pop parts. Almost $300 (each side) w/clear glass & chrome trim (I need tinted glass/black trim). No way I'm spending that kind of money for frames I'll have to refinish. I am watching e-bay for a set of vent windows plus the guys I purchased the rear window/cab section from most likely have what I need. But.... they're an hour away if/when I can align schedules so I'm considering options. I did get the 8pc door seal kit (perimeter door seals, glass run channels, & glass wiper strips) & the vent window rebuild rubber kit. I'll also have a set of Stewart Warner gauges by Friday & the pic should give you the basic layout idea ![]()

Re: Project: Recycle
One step forward, two steps back.
I went to the shop on Friday afternoon & inspected the rear glass/seal concerns. No improvement . . . .... The glass guy came out & worked on the pinched area that was @ the lower, outside corner on the pass side. He was able to remove the 'pinch' but the result was a fairly significant 'bulge' in the seal. I would be trading one less than satisfactory result for another. We discussed options & decided it would be best to remove the glass & re-try installation. Upon removing the glass & seal, we found the seal split in the area where the problem was occuring. I also took the OE small glass & put it against the large glass to compare the lower corners. It appears he can remove a little more material around the corner while still sealing well. This will hopefully help prevent the seal from wanting to bunch-up in the tighter lower corners. We'll find out Monday morning. I did get the gauges & like them alot! I also will try & patch the vent window frames & hopefully same some $$ by not having to purchase new/different units. Everyone have a safe Independence Day!

Re: Project: Recycle
I have two factory bbw glasses for my project. Not sure if pictures would help but I would be glad to take some for you. Your truck in looking awsome.

Re: Project: Recycle
Would you happen to have a sbw glass you could compare with? A pic w/the sbw on top of the bbw glass to view the difference (if any) on the corners would be ideal. I'm just guessing they're prob very close in shape.... it would be nice to have confirmation.

Re: Project: Recycle
Hope these help. If you need any more pictures let me know.
I was in Palestine last month for a job interview. The trip was way too short. Maybe next time I will have enough time to see some cool Texas truck from the forum.

Re: Project: Recycle
This pic is exactly what I needed.
The custom piece he cut has much sharper corners vs. the OE bbw. I did that same over-lay 'test' & the bottom corners were much different on my test; yours look very similar. The ones I have are prob 5/16" different @ the corner when aligning the edges. How much was the sbw glass hanging over the side/edge?

Re: Project: Recycle
I put the sbw glass on bottom and marked it with a sharpie. I come up with 5/16 at the middle.
