+3, would love to see this beautiful build get over the finish line. Hope OP has been wheeling all over and has had no time for an update.

Vent window rivet tool
I’m so glad to of have found this info on a search.
I just ordered the tool you located, I’ll alter as needed to fit as you had.
Some of my holes became enlarged and I use oversized pop rivets , only used on tabs on divider shaft.
I too have fallen pray to the rivet repair kit ,that tool sucks, yea try holding it ,the rivet , hammer and keeping it aligned while
not bending the frame.
Thanks,Bakydnutbstr
PS.anyone doing vent window repair should read your article so you don’t wind up doing this :banghead:

WOW this project is so cool. I just read this whole thread over the past two days, and now I'm all caught up. I'll be following along for the next posts which I hope are soon to come. I have an '83 j10 honcho that I'm putting a 2000 5.3 with a 4l60E and NP241c in, so seeing this build is really cool. I understand there's lots of ls swaps on here but I admire the drive you have to work through the difficulties of doing the swap with the new engine!
Subscribed and waiting for the next posts.

Hope all is well and the project hasn't been abandoned.
