    now that I have reread one of your posts not sure if they used channel tape to hold your vent glass or a sealer of some type like urethane of silicone or what from the picture I cant tell . if they glued it in it may be more work to get out razor blades between the glass and frame just take your time and don't bend the frame.

    the glass will most likely come all the way out. the channel tape may tare that will depend on how tight the glass fits the frame it you use a channel tape that is too thin the glass can fall out and one too thick it wont fit or the channel tape will tare. sometimes you can use the tape over again no telling till you try it. you can take it out try the fit with out any tape to see how it lines up with the window it will be in farther because the tape is not there but atleast you will know if your window regulator needs adjusting. some.

    to help remove use a heat gun there is a tool to remove the glass from the vent frame and to install it but most people will not have one or need one . it is a vent glass puller it can pull the glass on to the frame too but in all my years I never needed one. by the way heat the frame not the glass.

    the product is called channel tape and can come in different thickness . most glass shops will have this in stock.

    I was wondering if anyone found an easy way to check on craigslist instead of going thru each town if there was a way you could type in the part you were looking for and it would give a national list of that part being sold nation wide. that would be great . thanks neil

    just looking around the web and came across these guys but when I went to click on there web site my computer gave me a warning that it was unsafe to do so. do any of you guys know anything about them thought it might be another good parts source. thanks neil

    I tried the search and found nothing maybe I did something wrong because I know it must have been talked about I assume it tells the color and options of the truck not the same number as the vin. can anyone tell me more and am I right and how can I read it . thanks neil

    the firewall was not cut the radiator is mounted in front of the radiator support and the stock fan is used. I live just south of Raleigh nc. I have not seen one pilothouse truck while I have lived in nc and I have been here 10 years. one thing about these engines is they seem very heavy for a six wish it had the gear to gear setup like the inline chevy but beside that I love this engine not one problem in all the years I have owned it. I would put another back in here in a minute if I needed to. thanks neil
