This past month I have not worked on the truck as much as I would have liked. Today however, despite the rain, I got the door components all put back together. I replaced all the weatherstriping around the vent and side windows and reinstalled the internals. I was very pleased at how smoothly the window operated. The new vent window seals were a bit of a challenge. Used a international Scout armrest that I had laying around...fit great. I am very pleased as to how everything came out. I wish the window weatherstriping was not 160bucks through LMC seems very overpriced....but cheaper than anywhere else I found it.
The next thing I will be working on is obtaining a windshield and having it installed. The first one I purchased was cracked during install. Luckily they are only 35bucks at the scrap yard.
I also have the FE block torn down and will be taking it to the machine shop.
The list is getting shorter, but still plenty to do.
