First I'll take out the pedal assembly and send it off to Eric to rebuild/ fix. While it's out, what else should I do in that area beside a good cleaning and POR15 treatment?

I'll need a windshield. I think I can get one from a local shop. What do I need to put it in? What about these clips I hear of for the trim, what do I need and how do they go in?

Tires: I need a new set that's good but inexpensive. suggestions? I have 6 & 7 x 16. What size should I look for?

Wiper assembly removal. I think I understand how these go together. Any pointers welcome. What do I need to be careful of when removing the gas tank?

Thanks!

"Good" tires--for what? MPG? Wear? Dry grip? Wet grip? Low noise? Other?

If dry grip is just about your only priority, and you are willing to compromise everything else, get the Falken Azenis in 205/50-15.

Other tires, umm, the ones I used to like are no longer made...

Hey Dave, The Falkens are a great choice for dry grip, however, he mentioned he was running 16" wheels so the size you suggested is not an option.

I am running Kumho's on my truck and they stick pretty good for a street tire. I think they are the 711's and they are 245X50X16. They dont last but maybe 30k or so however.
