Well, I've been working on my 61 C10 for a few years now. I bought a new windshield gasket and thought I could take out the windshield, put in the new gasket and slide the windshield back in and everything would be rosy. Of course the windshield shattered as it was coming out. I messed around, shopped the junkyards etc and finally just bit the bullet.
I called up my local windshield guys and said do it. The came with a roll back, took my truck to the shop, put in the windshield and new gasket, loaded it back up and delivered it back the next day to the tune of $526.62.
The green tint window list at 821.45 and they took a 67.77 percent discount on it and got it for me at 264.75. The new gasket was 84.43 (yeah, I know, I had a new one and it was cheaper at Chevy Duty but what you gonna do) and the labor was $150. So, for 523.62 my truck looks almost like a truck again.
I spent a lot of time today taking off the old bed front panel and getting ready to put on that Chevy Duty replacement. I also put the passenger door back on and did some more priming, getting it ready for more stuff to go on. I also bought a hood a few years ago and found it to be a GMC hood. It looks different but I mounted some parking lights up in the grill bit of it and it doesn't look to bad. At the rate I'm working the truck (George is his name) should be on the road in the next 5 to 6 years.
