Nice build! You may want to fold over the seam at the bottom of the firewall while the cab is off.

I take it this is for easier turbo installation or upgrade?

Yeah, for turbo plumbing. Also, in my case, the extra room would have been nice for the zf-5 swap.

Think you want E 25596 Weather strip door frame. Looks like the "beltline" strip is the piece on bottom of the glass with the track for the crank...

Thanks! The last NPD book I looked in didn't show them as available.
Hey, although I found the part number I'm not sure how to order them... I couldn't click on them like the other parts so not positive on availability, but that is definitely the part number. You may need to make a phone call and find out for sure.

So I am finally back to working on this project again. I got sucked in by tractor pulling last summer and that ate a lot of time.
As it sits right now I have the cab bolted down and the bed just set on the frame. I have to repaint the tailgate and two doors. I noticed low spots in the metal that I couldn't see until I got a gloss coat of paint on it and could see the reflections. The paint did oxidize a little while sitting but a coat of paste wax and it was back to new. I am going to be ordering parts over the summer to get this thing back together. I now have a factory turbo engine to swap in that I just pulled last weekend.
