Door glass
« on: July 09, 2022, 07:58:41 AM »
Hi everyone so I recently saw the one piece window conversion kit and it looks pretty fly. Anyways I can't see spending close to a grand to make that project happen. But from what I read about the conversion it fits 77-91. So can I just hit the local junkyard and pull the window glass regulator and weather stripping from a 91 and Trans plant all that into my 85 doors? Thanks

All the square body trucks have the wing window up to the end.  The 88 body style C-series will not fit

OK this is going to sound crazy and definitely different from the norm. So the squarebody are plagued with no cup holders other than that ash tray thing. Anyways what if you had perfect little swivel table that that you already have but can't use because of said wing window. Besides it's at least 20 degrees hotter in my cab and that even with my blower motor unhooked. Something else rhats worth asking is it normal the when the key is on the blower motor has power I have speed control just no off unless I unhook it. The cab and wiring is 78 gmc k25

So I gutted my old doors and while it was sitting with no widow I saw that if I turned my mirror  to the glass faces up I can then turn the mirror into the cab and have a little stand right in front of me. Wish I'd have taken a picture of that looking back... perfect for  a drink and a pack of smokes

yes the fan is supposed to run even when in the off position to keep the vents dry from moisture/mold

That sucks. So will I hurt the cooling system  if I install a 1/4 turn shut off valve in the heater core line. to cut the collant flow from entering the cab.

The blower running keeps mold and mildew from forming in the air distribution system. It's a good thing. There are so many beer holder options, I used to have that boat one so that even if you flipped your truck, your beer wouldn't spill. I finally broke it, maybe I'll see if anyone still sells them.
