Re: original (not modified) truck pics

Here's a more recent picture of my '72 K2500. I had redone the gutter seal and the paint was flaking off the primer because I thought it was sanding/sealing primer and went right over it. I went to redo it and discovered the seam sealer I had used wasn't doing it's job (3M). It peeled up easily (stayed pliable) and I did the whole thing over with better stuff this time. I also removed the rear window and put a new gasket & slider in. Glad I did,too! When they put the factory slider in they used a sealer that dried and cracked. It allowed space between the body and gasket. Water was getting in and it was potted all along the top and bottom. It turned into a big project and it's all good now. So,anyone with original sliders I suggest you check that out!
