yes and it was a PITA / ok here's how I did it , used saw horses to support the glass so you have access to all the sides, put the gasket on, tape it as you go to hold it in place then install the trim , tape and retape as you go to hold it in place ,installed a pull string I used crabbing line , set the whole thing in the sun for 4 hrs , laid the windshield in the channel used a hook tool to start the gasket in the bottom channel , used soapy water in a spray bottle,a lot of pushing and slapping and just had to keep working it a little at a time

Good looking truck James! The patina is awesome too, I'd be tempted to CLR it and clear it to preserve it just like it is!
