I made my windshield installer's week when I told him I was going back with a standard gasket and not the one with the trim. He was VERY happy!!

Truck looks great man!! So, test drive next week, right??

Thanks! No test drive soon. Still waiting on some key parts. I'm getting a rebuilt trans by trading some core trannys, and I still need conversion lines. Once I get some other work done, I'll hit this hard.

I have to give a huge thanks to Leon, LockDoc, for coming over and helping install the windshield and rear window. Without your help, I wouldn't have trim in the gaskets! We had a little issues, but nothing like every one on here rants about. Must be Leon's magic touch!

No problem Ryan, glad to help. We had the teamwork going too...

.. If I had the magic touch I would have had them install themselves... Yep, just jump right in there..

I can tell you his truck is looking really good.

That's good because I don't want to have to change my mind again.

the more I look at that color orange the more I like it.

1985-GMC · 02-20-2012, 04:52 PM

If it was me I would hold off on the cab lights until rest of the truck is done, Id hate to drill through a freshly painted cab like that, too bad you don't have bumps for the stock lights.

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-20-2012, 05:03 PM

They're just setting there. I wanted to get an idea what they'd look like. I want cab lights on it but don't really want the OE style since I don't have the raised roof light cab. I will be installing these on this cab. Fresh paint yes, I'll just have to be careful.

jbclassix · 02-20-2012, 07:47 PM

Ryan. I don't like the lights... sorry

Don' worry, you're not hurting my feelings.

pickup67man · 02-21-2012, 12:20 AM

The lights look good. They wouldn't look good on a lowered 2wd or anything with a gas engine. But you are building a truck. Still would be hard to drill the new paint.

pickup67man · 02-21-2012, 12:23 AM

If those don't work for you I am thinking of parting with mine.

wutnxt · 02-21-2012, 12:49 AM

Do what i do ....

I have a buddy that drills the holes in my new paint and hits my builds with hammers when i can't do it.....And i drill and hit his truck with my hammer....lol...it's team work. I have no prblems drilling holes in anyones fresh paint but i sure do cringe drilling mine
