It was the seal, fixed small window and then the track that holds the fixed small window in place. Then I put the new felt channel in and then the rear window was next. Pushed the rear window all the way up into the rolled up position and then got the regulator on the tracks before bolting it back onto the interior rear door panel.

Hope that helps and I'm not to late, been busy at work for the last few days.

I got one of the front doors together. Have not had a chance to do the other ones yet. Thanks for the reply. It will probably be a few weeks before I finish them. I'm heading out of town.

Well not a whole lot to report Jim.

Just been gathering parts, materials and tools to start on the interior cage and dash. I've got all my gauges finally so now I can start laying out the dash, needed them in order to get a good idea of how big the intrusment cluster needed to be.

I did roll it out of the shop last week to give it a much needed bath.

Your truck does look great sitting out there!! Do you have the tires that your going to run or do you have the small tires on it to be easier to work on it?
Do you remember what springs you used in the rear? I have a guy building a Crew & wants it to sit like your truck?
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Jim!

No I don't have the tires/wheels that I will be running, just these rollers. I figured I will wait until I get the truck pretty much done before getting tires/wheels so they won't dry rot.

The rear springs are from a 99 GM 3500 dually so they are the 63" GM springs. I ran the same springs on my M880 and I really like the ride and flex they provided so I found a new set and used them again.

Just remeber my truck doesn't have the drivetrain in it so it sits nose high in the front. It should be pretty close to level once the drivetrain is in it along with everything else that will be on it.

Great build! With the new direction of the truck, are you going to stick with the '10 leather seats?

I sold the leather seats awhile back.
I will be going with four of these.

I've thought about it even a 6.7, but I really like the old 12Vs. I will be adding generous amouts of Dyna Mat to the cab and inside the front of the cab in the engine bay as well. That should be quite a bit quiter than a stock 92-93 cummins truck.

Is that a stock height spring or a lift spring?
Thanks,

Stock height spring added with your shackle flip to give me more lift.

I picked the color out of an old DuPont color chart catalog from the 70s. I don't remeber the paint code but can get it if you want the same color.

Thanks!
