Allegedly. I personally think it’s just cause that’s what they had laying around or was cheapest to produce.
I had them on my last k5 without an issue. If anything it might not turn as sharp?

I always heard that it was to improve the turning radius.
After driving this a couple days in a row on warm days I realized I needed some working windows. This was originally power window and locks but the power stuff is so junky on these trucks and I prefer manual. You can see on mine where the mounting holes are all bored out from bolts coming lose from the heavy motor and regulators. Everything was going to need replaced.
So I decided to change it all over to manual. Plus the manual regulator mounts higher in unf**ked holes too so that’s a plus. Removed everything from the doors including harness beside the door latches. Ordered all new seals and wing vent rebuild kit. New manual regulators and removed the lock actuator. Rebuilding the vents is not fun.

You should do like a semi. Make the driver side manual, and the passenger side electric (they were generally air...).

Yup. I have gotten to the point where I like to be able to operate the passenger window with a button. Unlocking it with a button is great too!
But I drove early nineties KWs with dual electric windows and mirrors, so I may have become spoiled. I hated the mixers with a manual right hand window.
Do not recommend. Will not do this again.

Dont tell me that, i want to replace mine. How big of a PITA was it?
The rivets they give you are junk and a huge pain to mushroom out correctly. Especially the pivot rivet for the glass. Have to hit it real hard 1/4” away from glass. Definitely need another person there to help hold it too. Next time I’ll send them off or buy rebuilt ones.
Oh you rebuilt yourself? I was going to go the lazy route and buy rebuilt. The removal and reinstall itself is fairly isnt it?
Ohh no that’s super easy to switch them out. Rebuilding them is terrible.
Props to you. I tried to rebuild mine and got one disassembled and said screw it and bought a set of decent used ones in much better shape than my originals... Lol
New seals, manual regulators, and old glass installed. I really hate aftermarket parts. Nothing works and fits like oem, but I have functional windows now at least.

I need to do regulators on the 74. What brand did you go with and how did they fit?
I got them on 1A Auto. They fit good but are a little tight.
Drove it to work today. Good day for it.
Never could get my fuel gauge to work. Traced it to a bad fuel sending unit that I bought new.
Good times.

Uga duga
Nothing like bad parts right off the shelf
What brand of sending unit was it?
