All This Opening And No Sardines:


Recommended Posts

Getting some more rust taken care of on the 74 RL797:

These are after the roof panel is off the cab, and the closing panel that ties the inner cab support(s) and the windshield frame together is removed. The inner cab panel is the one the sunvisors attach to. There was probably 100 spot welds holding this assembly together.

Both windshields were broken as I removed them. The perimeter gasket seal was glued in and almost as hard as a brick from years of sun exposure. I had not planned to reuse the glass as it was going opaque in the edges, but it was good for ready spares. These were the first R model windshields I've ever broken and both on the same truck.

Now I can make the new panel along with a new front panel drip edge and get it welded back together sometime. Things don't move too fast around here.
