- We put this off for a long time, but we finally did it ourselves and they turned out great! All rebuild parts were purchased through LMC trucks, Jeg's and Amazon. Let us know if you have any questions! Ans as always thanks for watching!

Finally a video that actually shows you how to rebuild this the right. Hell yes
I watched everyone i could find. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video . Just ordered my parts , fingers crossed. Lol
Good luck😎
Haha! I watched at least four or five "how to" videos, but when it came time for me to install that rubber, I went back and watched them all again! Then, all of a sudden, this video pops up out of no where, a virtual gift from the lord of frustration himself! First off, you're lucky you have a helper, I'm stuck with my banged up hands. I took my frame apart because I thought it might be easier to put the rubber, I haven't started it yet, just came in today. It looks like it's going to be just like they say. Anyway, thanks for putting this together, it's going to be well used for sure. Happy trails.
Thank you and good luck! Hopefully they sell these new soon!
Planning to do mine soon, hopefully this gives me an edge. Some great tips, thanks.
Glad you found it helpful. 👍
Cool video Brotha! BOOM BABY!
Thanks brobeans!!
Love the vid. Thanks alot! But I need to know where the c10 shirt came from!
That is one of my favorite shirts… You can get that at the “Sweet Patina” website in their apparel section! Thank you for watching!!
I am embarrassed to admit how many I watched, I lost count and just went for it. I did it the same way and it definitely is no fun with that seal. I also waited on my K20 restoration. Last two pieces to do, finished one today, drivers side tomorrow. My suggestion to anybody reading this comment, BE PATIENT........😁
Yes, I will be ordering new ones next time 😎
Does the piece that he originally drilled out to 6 or 8 holes that’s supposed to actually be 3 on the 73-79… does that frame need to get drilled out ? And the new rubber riveted back in ?
@BUILTBYBLAKE424 no you just unfold the tabs and pull the rubber out. The new rubber will have tabs to fold over if there’s no drilling.😎
@@FamilysGarage hm this one is the 79 model… this one is just smooth piece of rubber, with 4 hole indentations that look like they need to get drilled out in the rubber. The metal from itself also has 4 holes stamped but not drilled out…
Frame *
I have a 1978c10 my vents windows seal needs to be replaced. Iam going to give it a shot
Good luck 😎
Were did you get the frame and glass from?
What is in between the glass and the frame? Rubber?
first video i watched on the vent windows. I am curious would it have not been a little easier to put the trim on before assembling the frame?
Those inserts you can't buy, LMC has em in 1 of the repair kits. But do not buy their clam shells. Their "bolts" are pot metal n tear right in two. Big ass ablations (air bubbles) in the castings.
There's also 2 different rubber kits for 81 to 87, you need to know that before you order. Also I mix up some Super Clean and water to install the rubbers, that solution is more slippery that soap, works great!
Watched prolly 3 or 4.
Would it be easier to drill out the frame rivets also to get the new seals in?? Im at that point as im typing this...
As I mentioned in the video that was where I went really wrong and couldn’t fix the other one I attempted it would be easier maybe if you had two helpers to hold everything together, but I don’t think so
5 videos
😝😎
That was the easy way? 😢
It's a pain in the ass.
Nope not going to happen on my build im going to spend the money on the big one piece aftermarket window kit
Do your research, 2 of our clients spent the money on one piece kits and hated them enough to go back…
@@FamilysGarage Out of curiosity what was bad about them? Maby i just say the hell with building a square body
Great video, I agree it looks like a pain to rebuild them.
