When I got around to trying to install the corner glass in my 5 window cab I had serious trouble. I just couldn't get the rubber to fit right, or stay where I put it. I finally ordered new rubber from Steele, and the windows went in with absolutely no problems. Both sides done in under an hour! Maybe the rubber from Carter was from a different manufacturer, or maybe it was older and had dried out some, but it even felt different than the stuff from Steele. I think if I had to do any glass again I would get all the rubber from Steele, even though it is about twice as expensive.
By the way, when I was installing the glass I used GOOP for lubricant. Worked very well, but it really made the glass hard to hold onto!

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
