I see there is a metal strap holding the seal at the bottom of the windshield frame. I don't think mine had that. I may have to biuld it. Or that not stock? The 2 end seals is a no brainer I see. I don't understand the second last picture. Where is that? you called it front fender welting.
OK, If i read your post right, what your seeing is the front corner of the gas tank carrier, just below that is where the fender meets the cab. The welting is in two parts, the easy one is the panel filler, the hard one is the piece that is riveted to the fender itself.
Some of this is covered in the manuals, and detailed drawings usually attached. I try and find some of them, it might help it make sense? (it's on a cd)
I don't mean to hijack the thead here, but what purpose does that metal plate on the fendor just below the gas can mount serve? What was it's original purpose?
Originally the Arctic Heater went thru/attached to the fender there, it was gas fired, that is about all I know about it? I know there is a supplemental TM w/all of the particulars!
working on installing headlights. Can anyone tell me what the screw sizes are. The ones that hold the headlamp retaining ring and the ones that hold the cover overtop of the retainging ring? The inner ones are smaller and I can't find what size they are. If I have to I will drill holes oversize and get a more common screw size in.
...... never mind.... I should have clean the threads out with a tap and I would of figured it out sooner.
Well I got some more progress pictures today. I also took it to it's first show and shine. It got lots of attention. Even though it was not complete only 1 person guessed what it was out of 25. Maybe when its more complete it will be more remembered. here is a shot of the new running boards I built. Also when I was searching for some parts I stored I found the metal strip for the lower windshield seal. I completely forgot I had one! Saved me making one....
And a few more shots of completed parts installed.
Here is s shot of some flare material I found to help cover the tires.
more pics to come.....

yes I will post pics of the flare install, not a problem. Here is the finished wiper wirinig job. The metal tube on top hides all. The wipers work but they sure labor hard when dry! I can see why they say to use for rain only.
