electric door hook up... help
« on: September 07, 2010, 12:06:20 am »
I just bought new doors for my 79 k10.   They are power and my truck was manual.  I plan on just mounting them and using the entire door and painting the truck in two week.  Can someone help me on how to hook up the power to these doors?  I have both doors.  thanks.

If your lines match up but there is a gap I would say you need to realign it all start with the back part of the cab and work forward

As said.  Line up the door first to match the lines then once you get the lines straight adjust the in/out and adjust the striker.
