Replacing the window regulators and felt bits is on my todo list. If I'm going in the door to do that job, anything else I should consider having on hand other than the regulators and a felt kit? I was looking at other items for side glass and saw "Glass Setting Tape" -- is that a needed item?

I used glass setting tape on one window, and a glass adhesive on the other. The adhesive was easier to work with, but the glass setting tape is a cleaner install. My frustration with the tape, is that it's a pain to get the glass in the channel. I needed a rubber mallet to drive it in, and that's not the best thing to do with glass. Fortunately it was tough, and didn't damage the glass or the channel. My OEM channels were in much better built than the replacement I considered buying.

Thanks -- which channels are you referring to here? Sorry, trying to get my head around all the components and terminology. There are a lot more parts that go into the windows working smoothly than I thought.

The channel that the window actually sits in. The company, Classic Parts, uses mostly counterparts brand stuff, which is from The Truck Shop. It's spotty on quality.

I have a hierarchy of stores I go to when buying parts for these trucks...

Classic Heartbeat or GMC Pauls: I use them when I need top quality parts. They do their homework to make sure they're only selling the best of what's available.

Classic Parts or Classic Industries: I use them when I need a discount on something that doesn't need to be top quality. Not often, parts may not fit perfect and need some tweaking to be acceptable.

I never shop LMC Truck anymore. Nearly every part I've purchased from them has had a plating, paint, fitment, or general quality issue. Every time I've made big purchases, i'll sit down and price out everything and get a total; LMC is always last place with the most expensive order. I've even called to check brands, and they are often the same brands as other companies I've priced out.
