Hi all. I've been beavering away on my 1941 pickup. I've been taking video footage and have just started editing some of it up and getting it posted to youtube.

Part5: Improving the seat, (rattle elimination) and realising other work will be necessary: https://youtu.be/du3iuNRXLak

Part 6a: Removing the rear window to prepare for a new seal:

Part 6b: Refitting the rear window with a new seal. This was my first time doing this in about 35 years. I did this before the front glass work I did, even though that video went out quite a while ago.

Part 6c: After finding the rear window leaking, I get cocky and pop it out to apply sealant. Things didn't work out well. CAUTION. Contains some adult language. (I did edit most out).

I have more to come, It just takes a long time to edit them up into a watchable format.

Please feel free to add a comment, like or click subscribe.

Thanks a lot.

Mart.

Mart that 41 cab is in nice shape. My 48 Merc truck has rusted a hole right through just above the rear window. I suspect mice have nested in there many years ago. Of course windows are pretty far down on the list for now on that truck.

Once again Mart; you made my day. Wish i had your ambition & patience.
You're right, these things come to try us....we're supposed to grow & learn....what is my problem anyhoo. You & RalphG do neat stuf. Thanks, mike

Too bad about the window glass break. You needed a helper on the other side. I actually carved one out of a sheet of plexiglass to fit the vent window on my Merc sedan. Could probably do the same for your rear window but I know its not the ideal solution.
