November 2023

More work on the wiring harness. Installed the cowl vent. I initially tried the “deluxe” gasket, but it put the vent much higher than the cowl, so went with the original style foam gasket. I ordered samples of cab windlace from various vendors, as the stuff I got from JIm Carter didn't fit very well. The bulb wouldn't even contact the door for a good seal. Picture shows from top to bottom: original, Jim Carter, Restoration Specialties tan, grey, and Steele rubber black. Decided to go with the tan from Restoration Specialties which seemed to be a nice match to the interior paint color.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
