you can get persnickety and try to seal every air leak on one of these antique rigs. or you can take the scorched earth /brute force approach (my personal technique) and pump such a massive amount of heat into the cab it doesnt matter how many leaks you have[ddd

BTW
i did use a 3 inch wide roll of gorilla tape and sealed the 1 inch gaps around the windshield
i dont care if it aint correct
something had to be done right now
sometime when i am feeling flush i will buy the correct seals and stuff
but its water/air tight right now
i hated the idea of water pouring down the dashboard straight into my transfer case/transmission

300 bones




my spare tire mount
on my truck
part A has a hole drilled in it to accept a padlock
the backdoors can be locked from the inside
same with the passenger
then a padlock for the tiremount/driver door
the two exterior storage compartments already have tabs for locks welded on.
