Re: off it goes

Jim, I pushed the tail light reflector tabs in just a bit. Tightens up the gaps a bunch

we did a lot work to the track, actually removed the rollers from the the piece windows and repositioned them to slide in the track and not bind. did a ton of metal work to both sides of the door so it's all straight now and actually did a little metal work on the curve of the window opening as well. it was a lot of work but the windows roll up down better than ever.

Re: off it goes

Jim why couldn't you raise the bracket up a bit, so the plate is flush with the bottom of the bumper?

that's a cool idea but it would probably tuck some plate up behind the bumper, I'm just that guy if it needs to be on there I want to see it all or not at all. we have already trimmed the the black inner plate section down to the exact same size as the plate and rounded the corners to match the plate. That way you shouldn't see too much of it when we're done

Gotcha, buried the plate on my roll pan and notched the rear bed sill, and unless you're 20' back you can't read the state on the top part.

Re: off it goes

we finally got the doors and the one piece windows where we want them...
when glass was up, it had a small gap at the front of the door so we corrected that problem



next issue, window didn't roll all the way down in the door, so we trimmed the stops

Re: off it goes

When you removed the bracket on the firewall for the steering and brakes, did you do anything inside the cab to reinforce it?
