So what's on the punch list? Any lessons learned?

Well, I still need to work through some issues. Relatively minor stuff to be honest.....
Passenger side window is really hard to roll down. I tried to re-use the old regulator and it isn't going to work. So, I ordered a new one and need to replace it.
Driver's side window isn't working properly. On the one piece glass kit, you have to trim the slide on the top door hinge or it impacts the track. Apparently, I was too conservative when I did this and the door wont close with the window down. So, I need to pull the hinge and fix that.
I need to order a new windshield. The one that is on it is fine and I never planned on replacing it, but it really detracts from the rest of the truck now that it is all done.
Install the side trim when it gets in.
Get it aligned and replace the front tires.
Probably the most important part, stop stressing out so much when I let him drive it.
As far as learning, honestly, since I did another one of these about 3 years ago, things went relatively smoothly. However, I regret not buying a shorter steering column. Also, it ended up being a WAY nicer truck than I intended and I spent A LOT more money than I expected.
