Re: Repro windshield frame header

I don't mean to cause any harm or devalue the part in any way, I just feel it's important for the people that install these parts to know of the issues they might run into. I keep thinking it would really be a shame if someone had installed one of these sets and ran into the problems after the truck is all painted.

It's great that they made the pieces they did. Some people really need them,in some cases it could be the difference in saving a whole truck.


I thought my inner header was in pretty good shape, the truck was nearly painted without replacing it, but it had some rust pitting so I decided to give the repro a shot. I am glad I did in the end because despite my original looking to be decent after taking it off and comparing it to the repro the metal on my original was thinned over the years and was about half the weight.
