Re: "Midnight Rider" 1970 C10 SWB Fleetside

Since I placed the order for my glass, I thought I should get started with rebuilding vent windows. I've been collecting nice parts for this so hopefully it turns out good. I've read where some people have failed miserably trying to do this. However, there are several posts about it on this board as well as 3-4 good instructional videos on YouTube, so I feel pretty good about it. I had six vent windows out in the barn and I bought a pair that had pretty nice chrome from Ebay. Of the six in the barn, two were black frames, and three chrome frames were lefts. So, I ended up with two pairs to choose from. The pair on the right had the least amount of rust and the best chrome.




Starting to disassemble the passenger side. Most of these parts came from out West, so it was a breeze to get apart. Basic hand tools and a 9/64 drill bit to remove some of the rivets.










Passenger finished.




Now on to the driver side.












I got a long enough plastic container to fit all of the parts in. Time for a soak in Evaporust.
