Teck's '86 K5 Build -5.3 LS/4L65E swap

I am in need of a new inside tailgate handle. If anyone has a good used one for sale please let me know.

I found one on ebay it will be here next week. I hope it will fix the problem of not being able to open the tailgate.

I also finally got myself to rebuild the passenger door with all the NOS parts I had collected. It was a pain but now its done. It sure is nice with the new window motor. The window actually goes up and down like new again.

Now to do the drivers door.
 
So how fast did these Windows actually work? Like a new 2015 truck?

Don't think it is that fast but so much better then before.
They worked good at first after I cleaned and rebuilt them but they just got slower over time to where they hardly went up or down with all the new weatherstrip.

I did do the relay upgrade on them a couple of years ago.
 
4 seconds is pretty damn good!
I will take that all day long
Mine was so bad before the tear down that I could stop get out of the truck and go to the other side and roll it up by hand and go back around and drive off faster than it would roll up on its own
 
Got the drivers door done tonight.

How do you drive that thing? Id be scared to step into it lol.


I like that mine is ugly, for the fact I dont care if it gets nicked here and there....



Such a great job though man :bow:
 
Good work... I just replaced the regulator and motor on mine and I thought that was a pain (literally as my arm was cut of from the metal door). Yours must have been a lot of work.

Thanks Adam
I just hop up in it and start it up. :D
I have built it enough times that it all can be fixed.
