    Power windows is better just grease it change the cable, if your window is slow and stuck it obviously needs TLC

    I know this is old but this helped me tremendously. Resurrecting an 87 my dad gave up on and let sit for 30 years, whose demised started because the rear glass wouldn’t go up after having the motor replaced. Huge thanks.

      @@philsgarage7092 splitting my time depending on weather. It’s frustrating, as no one part finished (I love how you say that’s how you’re doing it btw I’m so jealous lol), but as of now I’m stuck working outside and it’ll make things seem “fast” as they get completed. Completed rear suspension. Wire wheeling and painting under carriage and frame while gas tank is out, new tank and lines in hand. Rear brakes parts arriving this week so rear brakes will be next week. Front suspension parts in hand, PTSD from cutting rear off keeping me from starting the front 😂 For a smaller victory, should have doors done inside and out this month too. Have made steady progress over the past 3 months, and without exaggeration, your video helped maintain the momentum to get me to the “point of no return,” where I’m far enough along that I can’t quit AND everything left is achievable. I know it’s not much but I hope you know doing that video-as frustrating as I’m sure it was 😂-made a huge difference for me.

    I know this video was posted a long time ago but I’d love a reply. 😅. I need to replace my Manuel crank’s locking mechanism. So In terms of bolts, there’s 4 on the window mechanism that have have to be removed, but if the window is rolled up, with the door down, I’ll have to support the glass and then have a little maneuverability of the mechanism so I can access the crank’s two bolts? Once re installed just put the four bolts back in and insure everything rolls up and down correctly?

    Those second generation Chevrolet K5 Blazers & GMC Jimmys were produced from 1973 through 1991. Same with the seventh generation Suburbans & third generation C/K series pickups except the regular cab pickups were discontinued in 1987, but just the half ton & three quarter ton models, & the one ton models were discontinued in 1989. In 1987, the C/K series was dropped & changed to R/V series to make a distinction between them & the upcoming fourth generation C/K series pickups for the 1988 model year & help avoid confusion with the two different body designs. Also 1987 was the first year for gasoline fuel injected motors. 1980 was the first year for square shaped headlamps & last year for round shaped headlamps. The square shaped headlamps came standard on models with the Silverado & Sierra Classic trim levels & optional on models with the other trim levels.

    We tried to change our electric tailgate window regulator to manual bought 2 handles and 3 regulator units that go in the tailgate and none will work or roll up more than 2 revolutions. How did yours work and what did you do to make it work. Incidentally 2 of the regulators came from LMC and 1 from Canada!

    @donolbers9446 3 года назад

    Good job on the conversion, you and your Helper Ninja made a good video. As for the body shops and their reluctance to get involved in your project, with well over 40 years experience, I'll do my best to explain. First off, that is at minimum, a 30 year old ride, and will be covered in dents. Small ones that you may not see until it has shiny paint highlighting each and every one, but they are there. It is just normal wear and tear, and would take a guy an hour at least to point them all out. Next, the fit and finish is crap compared to today's rides, the good old days were not that good. Now, for the "I'll do all of the prep work and you can just paint it" crowd, who are you going to say painted it? And if your prep work is no bueno, and looks like crap, are you going to put a sign on it explaining? Big can o worms there. The bottom line on a really nice paint job, especially if you want it sanded and buffed so it looks like today's new vehicles, will be an easy 10-15k. If you are getting prices like Maaco, good luck.
