March 2024

More wet sanding and buffing on cab. Installed rear window. Recommend anyone working on a rear window installation get a tool with a more comfortable handle. Installed windshield. Decided to fix a defect at the upper right of the windshield that I expected to be covered by the gasket. Installed door latches. Decided to ditch aftermarket 7-wire turn signal switch in favor of the more period-correct 4-wire switch that was on the truck when I got it. Cleaned up and painted the 4-wire turn signal switch.

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