Thanks for the compliment. It being my first Mopar, from what I've learned while being a member here, there are a few things I'd change. But the project then becomes perpetual. There are some things yet to do before it's what I would call "done".

A pic of the back window...

Thanks for your vote!

No full tint is allowed on the windshield, but a 6" wide strip across the top is. Both that and the side windows are 35% max [blockage], and the rear window can be limo tint as long as the vehicle has mirrors on both driver and passenger side.

Thanks, Beekeeper. I'll check around here to see if that stuff is available locally.

I do agree that white is the way to go for cooler overall cabin temps. But it can still get hot as hell in the cabin when parked outside in the sun. My concern is the overall look of the truck if I do decide to tint the windows. Old time hotrodders didn't know what window tint was.

This ol' gal does not have A/C, but a 440 w/ headers ahead of the firewall and pipes outboard the frame under the running boards. Here in NM it's not uncommon for hot, dry, dusty days in the summer. Tossing around the overall asthecics as to how she would look with the windows tinted.

I use Por-15. Never had a problem after using as directed with any rust problems. This on a truck that is over 80 years old. Applied after media blasting, and the cab sat outside in the weather after application for a couple years. It's tough stuff.

Wanna do nine?

It's gonna be a while before the chics take notice of you again.

I remembered years ago now, seeing my granddad tossing tractor parts in a big washtub who's contents smelled strangely like molasses. Curious that a post can bring back that memory and revealing the reason. Thanks for posting.

Undercoating if applied by the manufacturer wouldn't be gobbed on like that shock shows. Though an option for some manufacturers (a means to charge the customer more $) tended to use that stuff sparingly, as it cost them labor, equipment, and a special set in the production line, and this stuff...

I'm in agreement with RM23UOA on this one. It looks bad enough to me that full access to the frame is required to set the frame in its' original position. Pulling the body off at a minimum. Welding access to all four surfaces is imperative. Doing this will also allow you to inspect and repair...

Reviving an old one... Got the glass in the windshield frame. No problems other than it took quite a bit of force and the use of a rubber mallot. After talking to the glass guy at our local hot rod builders shop, he suggested using the bedding tape. It worked well, and the glass fit tight in...

Many here have offered viable processes an/or solutions as to how to tackle the rust problem you're faced with. I've been through this twice. On a Jeep that frequented Texas beaches and an 80 year old pickup that sat in the dirt for 30 years. To truly get the "in your face" picture of what...

I'm in agreement with ThrashingCows. I'd strip the body and have it blasted. (if you don't want to do this yourself). Once stripped, you'll have a very clear picture of what you're faced with. Weigh the cost of replacement body sections and metal that you can form yourself against the...

MoparLeo Appreciate your concern, but this isn't really a case of not knowing what to do. I do know, and have the tools to accomplish the task. I was merely asking about a glazing compound that comes close to what Mopar may have used in 1940. Assembly of this frame is straightforward and simple...

That is probably precisely what I'm looking for. I'll visit our local carquest. I can run a bead on the channel section of the center divider as a test. I've a friend with the same year Dodge truck, and he's very unhappy that he used urethane. To replace a broken pane took him a week of digging...

Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for your suggestion. I've been all over most of the old truck websites, and what they're doing is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. (Urethane) My posting here is to tap the knowledge of maybe someone who has worked in the glass setting business and has set glass as the 'old timers' did it...
