Re: 72 GMC K2500, short bed build

I also installed new rubber on my wing windows yesterday. I have been dreading working on wing windows for the past couple years because last time i did it i wasnt happy with the results and its a real chore.
Im super happy to report that i have it figured out, its not very difficult or time consuming. I have a bunch to do so i will be making a couple jigs to ease the process and help me hold and set the rivets.

Im especially happy with how the pivot rivet turned out. I used the pictured setting tool and had my wife help me hold it using the bench vise as an anvil.
I did one by removing the pivot rivet and one by removing the rivets on the pivot hinge.
As you can see the other one needs a new rivet which i didnt notice until i took the picture.

Precision seals and rivets purchased from classic parts usa. Rivet setting tool i got off a forum member, nothing fancy and probably sold everywhere.
