If you leave enough money under a pillow the glass fairy comes by. :lol: The down side of having glass is after this much time reaching in through the window frames to get stuff from the back it's frustrating to have to go all the way around to the back and open the hatch. :waah: And I'm still stuck on the second row windows as I still have no seals. I left a message at Precision Rubber but no word back yet. In the process of installing the dash pad I noticed the blower motor resistor just hanging in the heater by the wires. Most of the phenolic plate that held it in position was gone. One less thing to catch on fire. Not much info here as it is just lots of time making sure things fit right with good fasteners. Lots of anti-seize and time wiping anti-seize off my hands. So far the only surprise has been the front turn signal plug mismatch. Harness female connections are V style which is 67 only. And of course the grille and lights I got are 68. The other disappointing fact is that the bumpers are all tweaked. When it was purple I never noticed it but now it is very apparent. As this is to be a daily driver I think I need to step up the bumper protection. Maybe get OE painted ones double them up and plug weld them together for extra stiffness. Now days so many people don't care if they have to push your car around when they are trying to park. I've repainted the bumper on the girlfriend's Lexus several times because of these &%-&#%&%- people. Would painted bumpers be a bad idea? It seems to me to be a 4x4 thing.

Looking very good! People parking intentionally bump into your car?

Re: Working Man's Burbon
With all the work you've done I would stick with the chrome bumpers. They look much better than painted. Of course this my opinion which sometimes isn't the most popular opinion. ..lol

Maybe I missed it.... Which gaskets are you having trouble finding? The ones I circled in this picture? LockDoc |
Re: Working Man's Burbon
Yes those are the ones.

Re: Working Man's Burbon
Did you get your 67 /68 plug issue worked out? I have a 67 parts truck sitting i can check to see if the plugs are any good
Thanks for the help with the stuck glass on my thread. Looking at your write up it look like mine is just stuck as well |

Re: Working Man's Burbon
Wow! That would be great. My body man will be happy too! :lol: Precision Rubber is supposed to be remaking the mould for them, but no word on when it would be ready.
P.S. That's a nice looking Burb in the picture |

IMO GMC Pauls is "online mail order", but I think they are a small local business to someone. I am glad I went with them because they worked with Precision to get us better fitting parts. There is no one local to me that I know of that sells what I need, much less the customer service that I have gotten from them. |

What was the problem you had with the fixed 1/4 window seals? As mentioned above I used the Precisions on my '69 Suburban with no issues.... LockDoc |
Re: Working Man's Burbon
Wow, the suburban is looking great! I really like that green!

LockDoc Here is my text from post 42 explaining the issue. I am unable to copy the drawing to this post so you'll have to scroll back. For some reason they had to remake the mould and it didn't get a check for proper fit, and got made then shipped out. I have heard of 2 other people here locally that received bad ones too. Quote:

At your convenience. No rush here. It's going to be really wet here for a week or so and I will have other things to attend to. Enjoy your weekend.
