Drill holes? In my truck? Really?


I installed the glass in the hatch and all but one of the window of the hard top. The guys showed me how to do it and after watching, I was able to do it without too much difficulty. Soapy water and some string ends up being at the center of the process, and it's tricky but not too hard. The hard part is the beating your hands take. I am going to be sore for a week.



I installed the reverse light, one of the most hard-to-find parts on the 1973 model since they only used this particular light for this one year. It's glass and heavy.

I also installed the rear badges which were difficult since I had to drill holes into the quarter panel to put them in. Nothing like drilling four holes in the side of a newly painted truck.



The passenger side window is the last piece of glass that I have to set in until we install the windshield.

Also visible are the side marker lights that I put in today. The holes for the body of the light were stamped out in the new quarter panel that we installed, but I had to drill the holes for the mounting screws. More holes in the side of my truck, but I did it without making any mistakes and it looks great.
