Re: Thin vent window seals?

When I was rebuilding the k5 I penched penny's where I could. Most places it worked out. Rubber was not a place it did. First ordered door channels and wing window from rock auto. (Dont get me wrong im normally a fan of rockauto) Windows would not go up or down. And I also got the one piece wing windows thinking they where simply an upgraded design used on the later trucks but would work on any wing window. That is not the case. Ordered the window channel and two piece wing from classic. Windows work great now.

My doors: one was on my 87 and a 90 from the scrap yard. Which by the book should have been one piece.

Only tip I really have is that it helps to start rolling the lip on the rivets with a punch before using the rivet setting tool.

Try holiday12 at checkout with classic for 10% off till midnight on the 26th.
