thanks fellas.
Bill if you were setting up new or reworked doors on new or reworked hinges on a reworked cab with new or reworked latches, that may not be the method. but with the door side latches already bedded and the cab side latch plates already installed, and the hinges already used, shutting the door and working the gaps with a screwdriver is fast and easy.
glass! the corner rubbers were coiled the wrong way and it made it difficult to lay the rubber in, so I stuck them in a low oven for a while. worked great! the real star of the show was the little hooky thing from LMC, last truck the single rear window took over a day, on this truck the hooky tool let me do all three rear windows in about an hour. I borrowed the lock strip tool from a friend and only scuffed the chrome strip a couple places. eh, character.
I rebuilt both doors, this is a budget truck so cracked glass will have to do unless someone wants to pay for new glass. it may seem counterproductive to put it all together with cracked glass, but I can change a door glass in about an hour, it really comes down to not nickle and diming it to death. I dont think I am installing bed wood, for the same reason, and I may not do bumpers either.
the inside frames I bonded the felts so that they were drying when this photo was taken. (I made sure to slam the drivers door with the frame off and mess up my sealant though haha)
at this writing I am fighting the windshield. last one gave me fits but this one is the cake taker.
