Nick did your truck come with a sunroof? or is it aftermarket?

 

i just bought this truck about a week ago.. maybe 1.5 weeks.. i have no clue if it was factory i have been searching around and can't find any.. i actually have the original sticker window when it was sold new in anchorage alaska and it doesn't say it has it but it also did have a section for dealer modifications that you can't tell what the writing is on it anymore due to the piece of paper being 24-25 years old..

note, went out today to 4 different shops and a glass installing company and i can't seem to find the weather stripping it uses.. i am running out of options here and i only get about 1-2 days without rain per week.. today was my good day.. tomorrow we are expecting tornados and rain.. again.. i am thinking it is aftermarket but everything looks really nicely done.. not jerry rigged..no nasty weld marks and everything seems really centered..

 

5-6 days per week of rain? Man that's brutal. It would take 4 months to paint a house. Do you live in a town called "Purgatory" ?? Doesn't sound like you have much need for a sunroof if there is never any sun is it an automatic sunroof? it must be or it would be easy to fix.

 

Bought new battery post clamps today, will install tomorrow afternoon. I also bought a rattle can of krylon exterior flat black paint. The gray insides of my front grill are intact but the paint is worn thin or off in places. I plan on taping off the chrome, putting some cardboard in front of the radiator and spaying it in place. That's why I bought the krylon rather than rustoleum, the krylon dries in 10 minutes, the rustoleum takes a few hours, I should be able to start a second coat where I started the first without stopping. I have no worries about it sticking to the plastic.

 

It's 5 screws to remove the grille. I would HiGHLY suggest removing it first it's much easier then removing the overspray off the front of the truck lol

 

I feel your pain, I havent had the motivation to wash my truck in weeks. It just rains the next day and ruins all my work

 

got to drive my truck today..... and started the tear down of my brothers motor to get it rebuilt. Gonna be a fun week.

 

Went to my shop today to drop off another truck so I can replace the u-joints. Saw the ice on the grill of my Ford there, and snagged a picture as it was all melting away.....just for fun.

 

what part of nc are you in bro? we are getting some strange weather aren't we..? North Carolina home of the bi polar weather.. snowing one day 70 and sunny the next day.. tornados the next day.. (last week)

 

Yea last week was nuts. My hometown is Monroe, but right now I'm going to school in Greensboro

 

my hometown is fresno ca.. but i live in raleigh nc.. i may be going to uti soon though.. so raleigh may be in my rear view for a while=]

I'll have no issues with overspray. the only thing exposed will be the insides of the grill. I am very meticulous about painting prep and taping, the bumper will be covered in taped down newspaper, the hood will be opened, the lights will be covered and my coats of paint will be very light. I may not have a clue on how to work on my transmission, but I can paint up a storm very neatly

 

New MOOG CC844 springs in the front of the '95 & new rotors and pads! All I have to say is AWESOME!!! Pics tomorrow in my thread.

 

Opened my passenger door and its binding up on the fender. First time... what the heck!

 

Mark it sounds like you are having a hinge issue.
