Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Stayed up late again last night. We got both doors hung and aligned OK for now. Once the truck is driven and settles in and the seals compress a bit, we might readjust them some. Put in the vent windows and the main window weatherstripping in both doors. Hung the front fenders and mounted the headlights in the core support. I don't like how the fenders hang right now. The gap between the door and fender is to wide at the top and tight at the bottom. It looks like the core support needs to come up or the back of the cab to come up so the fenders line up properly. Both doors open fine and do not hit the fender at this time. we are going to move on to other things then come back to the fender/door alignment before leaving on Thursday.

The seals/weather stripping we are using came from GMC Paul's and are Precision Replacement Parts brand. This is the first time I have used that brand and they are very good quality parts. So far they are fit really well and look good. I only have the inner and outer lower window felts left to install in the doors.




Got the door latches cleaned up and installed in the doors, still need to hook up the rods to the handles and such but that should not take long this evening.


I forgot to get a picture of the vent windows installed in the doors, but they cleaned up nice and looks good with fresh paint on the metal parts.

Here is where we stopped early this morning...



Korbin is getting a few parts today from the wrecking yard today, plugs, small bolts, and other parts that where damaged or now missing since the tear down. He works today from 2-8:0, so once I get home from work, I will attempt to finish up the wiring and get water in the engine so we can MAYBE pull it out of the garage...
