I then began to cut thin rubber strips to seat into the channel of the frame. This is in order for the glass not to contact the metal frame, otherwise it can crack if the truck hits a bump. It also helps raise the glass a bit to close up some clearances. The glass is slightly smaller than the...

Test fitting the glass without any sealant yet. I wanted to make sure it fit nicely before making anything permanent. The top cross piece gets mounted with the flanged side opposite of the handle on the window. The flanged side serves as the hinge for the window to go up and down on the truck...

I then ordered the bottom U-shaped frame and top cross piece with L brackets. The parts only seemed to have a light coat of paint on them, I didn't want the parts to rust over the winter so I sprayed them with 2 coats of paint+primer rust-oleum. I will be painting the truck once summer rolls...

First thing you'll need is the glass, if your glass is still good, you can skip this step. I found the following image on a post a while back and gave the dimensions to my glass guy, thank you to whoever was able to provide it initially:

In order to construct a windshield from scratch, you'll need a few parts. I constructed my driver's side windshield from scratch because it was beyond what I considered repairable, too much rust, frame damage, cracked glass. 1: U shaped lower frame (I ordered from Big Mike) 2: Top cross piece...

Hi All, I recently reconstructed the driver's side windshield on my deuce. I wasn't able to find too many details pertaining to how the window comes together and such, so I thought I'd post my experiences as a resource to anyone in the future. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but...

Ah yes, I can report a similar experience. When I did the final tightening on the outer nut, it wasn't as far on as it originally was. I noticed that the inner/outer nut were only finger tight when I first took them off, yet they were further on the threads compared to when I re-assembled...

It seems like the outer axle seal was still pretty snug up against the bearing after backing off the nut. I'll probably disassemble this hub again to check it out in a few months, won't hurt to see how things are holding up after my first time doing it. Sent from my E6820TM using Tapatalk

And I don't see an issue with doing it with one wheel on, seems like you're only feeling for if the wheel binds and then loosening the nut a bit. I say this because it's a similar procedure for the front wheels, and there's only one wheel there obviously. Although anyone more experienced might...

Yea they can be a bit vague at times. On top of that I sometimes find conflicting information as well. I think it's still a good idea to read through them and then do some research on top of what's found in the TMs. There's a channel on YouTube called Tactical Repair, he's extremely helpful and...

I looked through the TMs prior to doing everything and found the attached procedure. Was just wondering if slight wobble shown in the video is what everyone else and this TM page were referring to.

Hi All, This is my first time posting, been looking through the forums for several months however. I recently replaced a wheel cylinder in my deuce. Obviously the hub had to come off, and I'm looking for an opinion on the spindle nut tightness. I did a good amount of reading before doing all...
