power barn door locks?

Any luck this weekend? I went to the yard this weekend and they had just sent a MINT '86 Burb to the crusher....... I was pist, he told me it had tons of good **** on it still too but its been a while since I have been there and he had to make room for some p.o.s. Toyotas , so needless to say I will be going more often....LOL

I didnt find any door handles, but I did find out my maillady has a 3/4 Burb she's willing to part out for me. Her husband has dibs on most of it, but if the price is right, I'll get the axles and suspension. I did call a few places on friday and I'll be hard pressed to get info over the phone. My usual place doesnt even have any vans, let alone ones with rear door handles. I might just make one with crap I have laying around.

To open the door from the inside I just drilled a hole through the door and the rectangular plate that the outside button pushes against to open the door. Then I took some wire and stuffed it through the hole in the door and the plate, bent it up over the plate and brought it back through the door. I then wrapped it around a key ring. You can then pull the key ring to open it from the inside. It's simple, cheap, and isn't very noticeable - and it works.

As for the power locks, I'd check out what you have. Make sure it's lubed up. Mine work but work best when it's warm. When it's cold I have a hard time opening it with the key.
