    Need advice on resealing high top Ford “Explorer” Conversion

    It’s a 1996 Ford Econoline E150 5.8, 189k miles.  Going to do my best to get it to at least 250k.  Buddy of mine is a good mechanic and works at a junk yard for years so has connection for great prices on used parts so i can fix most things pretty cheap.
