Nope... I'm on it.

I wanted to try to use One Piece Products rear window, but it wouldn't fit right. When compared to my stock glass I could see that it was off slightly on the driver side. In order to use it I would have to tweak the window opening slightly. I'm debating.

The only major rust on the truck was the rear window channel. Really lucked out with this original sheet metal. This will need some repair.

Drilled some holes in the firewall for my master cylinder and steering column. If you notice there's only two holes for the master and they're not studs. I drilled the stock pedal mount and installed rivet nuts in two holes for the master. This way I can use button head screws for a cleaner mount. The other holes have studs on the back of the firewall for mounting into the bracket.

If you notice there's only two holes for the master and they're not studs. I drilled the stock pedal mount and installed rivet nuts in two holes for the master. This way I can use button head screws for a cleaner mount. The other holes have studs on the back of the firewall for mounting into the bracket. __________________ ~ Dan My 70 K10 SWB build:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=782232 My 71 SWB build:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=651394 1970 SWB Fleet K10 4X4, 5.3L LM7, 4L60E, Dakota Digital RTX, Vintage Air, Ididit tilt 1971 SWB Fleet C10 - Original SWB Arizona truck, new custom restoration project "Kick out your motor and drive while you're still alive - kick it out!" - Heart 1977

I'm also going to try the Honda door seals. Hopefully, I have some nice closing doors. __________________ ~ Dan My 70 K10 SWB build:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=782232 My 71 SWB build:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=651394 1970 SWB Fleet K10 4X4, 5.3L LM7, 4L60E, Dakota Digital RTX, Vintage Air, Ididit tilt 1971 SWB Fleet C10 - Original SWB Arizona truck, new custom restoration project "Kick out your motor and drive while you're still alive - kick it out!" - Heart 1977
