this is the best part for me is the anticipation of seeing it a different color

i never know if it's going to have paint on it or not when i swing by to visit
yesterday i spent a little time taking off parts here and there i stripped out the rear window regulator and the power window switch thank goodness for LMC looks like the only thing worth saving is the regulator itself nothing looks too expensive until you start adding it all up of course jeez louise

Sweet. They do like to rust on the side where the half-cab meets the bed rail, first one I've seen that rusted higher up on the cab first.

Apparently they were designed to drip water out through the channel on each side that gets clogged up which causes them to rust out in that area mine was not clogged, so no rust there. The rust on the roof was another story the previous owner sprayed some yellow foam in there maybe as a sound insulation but the foam retained water which caused it to rust. We thoroughly treated it and cleaned it out and welded and sealed so she should be tight for a while Gathering parts while the truck is in the shop.

Ebay! They were on there a couple weeks ago.

I have the visor with bolts and caps and have a couple side windows I may not use. Let me know if you still need them and I'll see if I can part with them.

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
When you are all done, can I bring down my truck and have you do the work on mine?!?

You're going at this much further than I ever expected!
