My "Winter Beater"

My new "winter beater"...

1996 180,000+ miles, decent shape...




Couple things...rear window leaks. The rubber seal looks "old" would changing it help? Or is there an inherent problem there?

Are you sure its the window? I've heard a lot of guys having a leak at the third brake light.

Yes, replacing it would be best, sun beaten rubber will harden and crack over time.

How do you keep the body in such good condition? In Michigan, we pave the winter roads with salt and the rust holes in the body and bed prove it. Yours looks great!!
