    I'll add that both of my upper windows are cracked. But they don't leak. I'm leaving them alone unless I get a better deal on new glass.

    I have heard they are kinda pricey, but haven't actually priced them myself. How much?

    I assume the seals are glued in just like the windshield if you replace seal and all?

    The fella that's coming to get the RGN called me to tell me he's a couple hours away.

    We've already established that he's got super singles, no chains and even if he had em he ain't got a clue how to hang em.

    So I asked him if he had frame ramps on his tractor and the response was just pure silence. If he's wondering what he's got himself into there might be a chance he could learn. But I'm afraid someone told him he could shorten the path to riches and early retirement by pulling a RGN with no thought given to whether or not he's even got the aptitude for the work.

    I ain't one to just crap on folks so I guess iI'l try to impart what little wisdom I have on him before he leaves and we'll wish him well.

    She would be the type woman that you could convince to weigh herself down with bricks to go in the water deep enough to confront Aquaman for bossing around all fish.

    No glue. There's a rubber rope in the split of the seal. You pull it and then use a plastic blade to work the glass in/out.

    I just paid $30 a side for front glass. I remember the upper windows being closer to $400 each but it's been a few years since I have priced them up.

    Not sure who your referring to but I'm still here as are a few of the other wing trucks afaik. I don't hang out with them so for all I know they could be gone. I'm waiting on a skin trailer to get released but that may not happen till sometime next week.

    If your referring to the pilots, they're home in Oklahoma shoveling snow.

    Ok I see what you're saying. This truck spent most of its life out west, and I noticed the rubber seal looked kinda dry.not bad, I figured on replacing the seals too because my luck it would get fouled up soon as I touch it and leak. being original though, it's just a thought I suppose. Only 1 window has a crack, but not leaking.

    Ohhh and $400 a piece, well that certainly explains pricey for no more than what they are.

    Thanks for the info
