How hard is it to do? Im trying to keep my K5 as simple as possible. Can the guts jus be swapped for manual stuff, think LMC would have all the parts to do it? Ive tried to find a manual tailgate, but havent had any luck and would rather jus convert my existing one.
 
I did this. the shell of my manual tailgate was trashed but the internals were good. I found a half decent shell at the junkyard, it was an electric but it didnt have the motor. I just swapped everything over and it was all the same. (where everything bolts up i mean). I got a few parts from LMC and yes they have everything you need but it is much cheaper to find them at a yard. The only thing i bought from them was the window crank and the lock cylinder ?sp?. My old one had broken off.. Anyways i hope this helps.
 
This might help....
