Thanks guys! We made it to Granbury, TX today with no new issues. Drove thru torrential rain from McAlester, OK to Gainsville, TX and the truck did fine. No leaks or anything. I don't normally use Rain-X but I applied some before leaving on the trip and it worked great, even in the heaviest downpours. I did have to drill a small hole in the bottom of each door to drain the water that collected in them. Forgot to replace the weep holes when I welded the new lower door patch panels on. Live and learn.
The belt conditioner helped a little bit and I had a new, spare serpentine belt just in case. Truck still starts hard, but it does start. The belt squealing was almost nonexistent and we were able to run the AC since the windows were up all day. Looks like the LMC truck show may see some rain tomorrow but Saturday should be very nice. Will post pictures when I get some.
