No leaks and mine work, I had them out before to clean and lube also blew out drains and resealed roof bars
My biggest problem was both hvac drains were clogged shut, crawl under and pull them by bell housing on each side

Looks great, Tom.
Can you share some details? What paint gun? How many CFM are needed from the compressor? Did you tape the window gaskets and cut the tape around them, or just carefully line up the edge of the tape with the edge of the gasket?
I may be doing this to mine.

Anywhere the original paint bubbled or corrosion I used a die grinder with scotch brute pad sprayed with self etch primer in rattle can
Taped of window gaskets careful then taped newspaper over glass pic on page 4
Cheap home depot gravity feed gun, huskey brand, hvlp may be better?
Wipe off over spray and clean gun with laquer thinner
Had a cheap hf water seperator/regulator I reduced the pressure some but always found with this gun more is better ( 10+ year old gun).
You need disposable strainer funnels, a paint measuring cup to mix and a paint stirrer on a drill
Use a 60/80 gallon shop compressor, small compressors run a lot causing air to get hot and attract moisture

I've also seen some pretty decent results with people that have rolled their truck. The first step is to actually take possession of the new truck.
