Installing door glass into window regulator sash on 1964-87 trucks The glass may need to be blocked up (so glass is not sitting in the bottom of the sash) This will make the glass bottom out in the top channel sooner which will prevent the sash from hitting the inner and outer wipers at the top of the door when winding the window up-the width of the sash can cause the inner & outer wipers to be pushed up of the installing holes -

60-66 Signal Switch Installation Signal switch and bearing failure Because of the pc design (some exceptions) of the one pc column shaft on these trucks there can be cab load added to the column shaft which in turn is passed on to the signal switch and bearings-this is caused by sagged cab mounts, rusty cab supports, accident damage, etc. You must unbolt the column support bracket on the engine bay side and the upper bracket in cab and neutralize the column from the cab so the column shaft has no load on it from the body passed on to the signal switch and bearings .

Installing door seals on 66-72 trucks When installing the door seals over the cab lip PUSH UP (to compress) the seal, do not PULL DOWN (then stretching the material) as you go along. Seals do shrink over a period of time so this allows for this natural process. Secure the seal with some tape so it does not come off as you go along (67-72 seals must start on top vent window corner ) allow the glue to dry for a few hours before you close the doors so they are not pulled off the lip (use a black weather-stripping glue). The doors may be difficult to close for a time as the seals need to compress to the size or your door gap and retain this shape, this is normal and expected. |
