Side window mounting
Do the side mirrors sit exactly center in the base bracket or off center. I will be installing side mirrors tomorrow. I had to adjust my vent windows in the frames to ensure good seal with outer frame.
Did a bunch of little projects today, got emerg cable remounted, put some SS trim on hood; painted side mirror base brackets, etc
Mounted hood release assembly in hood front, but the release doesn't s seem to fit properly in the handle. I'll take pics tomorrw to ensure I have it right.

window fitment
Thanks Julie;
I think I answered my own question, the window lift channel is 19 1/8" long whle the glass is 20 5/8" long. I had one old window that I measured off of and it looks like the glass is centered in the lift channel.
Now; what is the tab or piece attached to the channel, what is its' function ?

Lift channel end tab
So......... anybody have even a guess as to what the functon is of the piece that is riveted to the side window lift channel ?
My guess is some sort of guide so keep the window in the rear window guide bracket ?

Old F1 are you out there?
Ray;
Can you put some clothes on sometime and check to see if your side window lift channels look anything like these ? I'm not sure of the orientation of the tab, is it front or back ?

Not much, tractor had a rear flat tire (ugly job), son wanted some mag wheels put on his ice cream truck, ……………….I’m just a happy pig rolling in the dirt.
Are you thinking about going to Red Deer swap meet, I might be getting a day pardon for a trip!
Tab goes to the front.

Thanks !
What purpose does this tab have ? Thought the manual says felt washers go against glass, before retainer clips. I'll check manual again. I won't get to the truck for another week.
When is the Red Deer meet ?
I work until the 28th of April; home that evening.

From what I could see, it looks like it slides up the window channel along with the glass kind of like a stabilizing guide feature.
Red Deer is Friday April 30 and Saturday May 1……..I think!
