Hi all, I've found several threads giving advice on window channel felt replacement, but no word on actual window channels... Leaks have rusted my front channel out, midway down. I've been scouring the internet for a replacement to no avail. Anybody got a source rec, or know of a comparable model to keep an eye out for? Thanks, loving my 720 more and more every day...

What a great thread. "A while back, I painted a left 521 door, and put some insulation on the inside of it, and new window run channel. Today, I put that door on Ratsun. After adjusting the door hinges, and catch, the door closes easily, witha nice sounding "thunk", and no rattles. I cannot remember where I put the door repair info. I will try to find it, and update when do." Did you ever find this info? It would be really helpful, as I'm looking fo install a new run channel and replace felt & weather stripping. Good work!

Where its worn away in a few spots, there seems to be some rust forming. I think I might remove it and re-caulk, but I don't know I'm weary. Anybody has experience with painting and restoring truck beds have good sources? %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i.imgur.com/GjP5ozY.jpg %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i.imgur.com/faMUe35.jpg %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i.imgur.com/UGDnqLI.jpg Spotted this black residue this afternoon - anybody have a clue what that might be? New to tinkering with mechanics, happy to learn from these forums. Thanks for the welcome :}

It looks like it might be the original, if that's even possible. Truck has 142,000 miles. Would replacing the brushes be a good preventative measure?

:-) I will be posting more pics in the days to come. This is the first vehicle I've owned in almost 4 years - I'm amazed that I found this pickup. Not only is it sturdy as hell and in my price range, but its 100% mechanically sound AND hella good lookin'! Just some minor repairs needed - the driver side window won't go dow cuz the track is all rusted out; mirrors need replacing; slight surface rust in a few places; alternator is old as hell and will probably need replacing soon. So glad I found this forum. I look forward to tinkering with this beauty.
