Might not hurt to run some Mechanic In a Bottle in the fuel system and various RPMs and loads.

I’ll definitely do that come Spring.
So had a major win the last couple days. Got the nasty, hard windshield seal off and the windshield out. Turned out to be harder than I thought with the hard seal and gobs of adhesive. Very happy with the result. And had way better news than I expected. The channels are all perfect with zero rust. That is a huge relief. I didn’t think they were rusty, but wasn’t sure until the windshield was out and the seal removed. Now to figure out how to remove the remaining adhesive without damaging the paint.

Finally got the new neoprene fender aprons installed and I think they turned out great. Also, fresh gear oil in transmission and front and rear differentials. Think I may put this up for sale soon. Too many other toys needing attention.
Looks great!! I'm getting close to finishing my 83 longbed. Where did you get the fender aprons or did you make them yourself? What material?

@ceebs87BJ I made them myself. I had an original from the driver's side and test fit it to the passenger side. It was identical except for the steering box cutout. I then went to McMaster Carr and picked up neoprene material in 1/16 thickness and 50A tensile, medium hardness. Traced the pattern, cut carefully, re-trimmed and punched the holes. Easy peasy. You will need a set of hole punches and I got those from Harbor Freight.
