It's the little things. My headlight gasket was dried, cracked and hanging out at the bottom. $12 from Ebay, enough to do 4 lights:
Bushwacker Fender Flare Flair Edge Trim J C Style 10 FT Feet 000042-01 Welting

I got some pond liner and I'm going to try cutting that to shape for the side light gasket
 
I have used close cell foam sheets sold at craft stores to cut new light gaskets from. It comes in different colors. I've used gray and black, depending on what the OEM gasket color was.
 
why would you try to jerry rig something up when this stuff is so darn cheap? already has a thin strip of foam tape on it to hold it in place.

I meant for the gasket behind the side light. But I'll try your suggestion for the surrounding gasket fir the whole assembly.
 
Installed the ECE high/low beam lamps along with Susquehanna wiring harness. Took me around 6 hours for the total job. Three of the screws for the headlamp bezels were rusted in solid. Had to use penetrating oil, wire brush (for the exposed threads), and a propane torch to bust them loose. While I had the front torn apart I cleaned those hard to reach areas. I also, purchased new screws ans and attachment pieces for the grille & headlight bezels. My recommendations for someone going to do this task would be to purchase 8 new headlamp bezel screws along with the new attachment pieces for the grille & headlight bezels.

Glad I finally got around to doing this. The install is fairly easy. The biggest pain (besides the seized screws) was mounting the relays for the wiring harness. I mounted mine on the backside of the diagonal battery support, came out nice.
Thanks for sharing this. I have same issue.
Where did you get the headlamp bezel screws from pls?
 
Drove 45 mins to get some of the good stuff. Casey’s in Belvidere, IL. Used pure-gas.org to find this place. Only had it on four pumps out of twelve.

Sanded down and painted an FJ60 lower valance to complete the 62->60 7" Truck-Lite conversion Torfab did.

Rattle-can painted in 153 Warm Grey Metallic, which was the factory color. Don't know what the truck was resprayed with, so no chance of matching it.

What diesel motor is hiding under that hood...?

R2.8. Just picked it up from Tor for a conjugal visit. Need to start a build thread.

Between the valance paint, whatever the color the powder coater used on the core support, and the truck body color it's, um, interesting? I'll have Kelly Saad sort it all out with fresh paint in Jan.
