Thanks for the comments guys, they are much appreciated.
The windshield went in today on schedule, and according to plan. It took just over an hour to have it fully seated and installed, and then we spent about another 30 minutes just making sure everything was in as tight as possible. I’ll spell out all the details tomorrow. Although it went in without any particular difficulties, it was completely exhausting running back and forth to both sides of the truck to get the best angles, and using both finesse and maximum effort to pull the gasket into place. A bench seat would have made the job a lot easier.
Here’s the only after shot I have so far. The center caps are not yet in place. I’ll get some better photos once everything is cleaned up and put back together. I can't wait to see the overall image outside showing the whole truck:
Also the new fully polished stainless wiper blades showed up today and look fantastic with the NOS polished wiper arms.
