She's looking good Tim!

I finally took my truck out, gave her a thorough wash, waxed the chrome and found there was some light overspray from another project I'd been working on. I took her on a short run to my local OSH for some 0000 steel wool which cleaned it right off; they shine like new again.

I also got a bit of a wild hair and knifed off the rock-hard rear window rubber to re-install with new Softseal rubber from The Truck Shop. It turned into a PITA.

I tried taping the rubber onto the glass, then the window frame. No dice, it kept coming off so I said screw it. I'll take her to a local glass shop; I don't need the aggravation.

Also while working under the hood I finally found where the carb is leaking so I'll be pulling it off tonight to get a rebuild or a new carb on there. It's a slippery slope, gentlemen!
