I finished installing the passenger side window regulator, the new window channel weather stripping (door glass felt run channel) and the fuzzies aka the scrappers or anti-rattle are installed. The junk yard/new window regulator works great! The window doesn't fall down now when I shut the door. And I didn't even break the glass putting it back in, kudos to me! Now I'm just waiting for the new arm rests to come in.

I tried (in vain) to see if I could get a fellow board member to part out his stepside bed so I could get his passenger side fender. Oh well, I ended up encouraging him to sell it all at once then prayed that he could.

It was cool talking with a fellow member and that made the call worthwhile.

Finally got the truck in the garage so I can begin work on it

Being a Mechanic is my life , all of it as my Son is grown & gone now so sitting still where they're a beat to crap CHEVROLET light duty pickup truck sitting in my back yard , is *very* difficult .

I have no choice , gotta sit on my hands and read all the wonderful Truck Porn you alls post up daily .

I doubt I'll be able to drive my Saturday Jan. 4th .

Take your time to heal, in order to come back better than ever!

I'm glad to hear everything went well with your surgery.

Ordered a new carb, heater core, and blower motor from summit. Then placed a call to Porterbuilt for my suspension. It's going to be a long 6 weeks.

[alloutpro]

Put all new fuel lines and fuel pump...went for a cruise and wasted an hour drooling on a new tranny.......

[Lees68GMC]

Hey Texjake, It's snowing here and I have to work outside, so not doing it right now, But I have the window channels, (whole kit & trim everything you mentioned) and rubber Vent window gaskets also complete. Any insights, tricks to make it easier or just go for the obvious?

Don't feel bad, I do all my work on my truck outside as well, so I know how you feel. I have sent you a PM on how I tackled the task of replacing the window weather stripping & the fuzzies aka anti-rattles & the scrappers.

I'm having the 305 TPI motor swapped out for a 6.0 LSx motor.
Hawks 3rd gen Camaro is doing the work.

[lolo33]

try to find the issue with contact. i have battery, but no contact ..... and no electricity !!

[allens4876]

today i installed the hei distributor, replaced the thermostat, and started on my 5 speed swap. i cut out the small hump and drilled holes for the high hump. i searched for a shifter, but to no luck. the shifter for the 90 nv3500 has been discontinued. so i made one myself, glad i did too because i paid a total of $0.64 for it. i had a long piece of rod laying in the garage i used.

I called the owner of the body/shop today that has had my truck for like 8 years and told him to get working on it, I've done this every other month for years now. I also told him that I just may have to take his butt to court if he did not get it done, or give me all my money back that I have paid him in advance and I'll find another shop to finish it. Guy offered me a deal, which I have in writing on the labor rate for helping him out $ during a hard time he was having. Hardly a deal when its taking this long. Granted though I never did put in a date of completion, and the work he is doing is the very top on notches. Money always seems to make enemies out of friends. So I guess I did at least something for my truck today!! Ha. John

Wow! Hope all turns out well after such a long wait

[mud.man.rj]

That is extremely long on the truck, but sounds like things will start to happen now, to bad it has to be that hard.

[In The Ten Ring]

I went over to Sears and picked up my Craftsman Double Flare Kit for when I replace my entire fuel (hard) lines.
