Thank you Simon, you know what Ann Richards said "You can put lipstick on a hog and call it Maggie but its still a pig". 

Rear slide has all new derlin slide pads and there is one that concerns, its the one bolted to the wood floor, the others are supported by metal including the one that has the hydraulic cylinder, replacing those was a challenge. Top of the cylinder was easy but the ones on the side was tough, you must bend the metal tube in order to get the bushing in there then bend it back with damaging the ram. I'm thinking of removing the one bolted to the wood floor it really hasn't been supporting anything for sometime. 

We pulled the lower part of the seal track and taking off all the rust off from the track and the metal tubing for which it is adhered to. I think I will drill a few holes so water can drain out the absence of drains has caused far to many problems. Thoughts anyone? 

I need to take the headboard out to replace the window seal I don't think its leaking but want to do it while we are working in the area, any advice?
