May 2024

Finished installing windlace on both the passenger side and driver’s side. Wound up trimming the dovetail on the windlace to get it to fit easier. It still took two of us to get it in, one pushing and another pulling.
Installed the cowl vent drain hose and the vacuum reservoir. Installed the driver’s door latch, window run channel and window. Modified the inner fenders for the 4-position wire terminal blocks to support the turn signal wires. Trimmed out the passenger door, including vent window, then removed the vent window to install the rain shield - oops! Wet sanded and buffed the passenger door. Shot primer at the windshield corner repair area and painted it and some other areas on the cab that needed touching up. Painted the replacement (NOS) u-joint ball.

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