Getting into some tear down for the cab finding what needs replacement, where I'm at right now:

Outer cowl panels on both sides
Inner-outer cowl joiner panel both sides
Kick panels, both sides
Front cab supports, both sides
Front floor pans, both sides
Lower firewall/toeboard, passenger's side
Cab corner, passenger's side
Windshield channel at the lower outer corner, both sides.

The glass I pulled last night was the original stuff in the original gaskets! There are 6 layers of paint on top of the original stuff, which is actually in surprisingly good shape under the hood (I found soap pencil marks on the firewall!)

I've also found several places where dents were filled with lead. How in the heck do I get this stuff off??
