beside replacing headlights on my 90 R3500, temp wired these
stupid camera.... I had 5 more pictures of this process... so backup a second. The gate is bent from people crawling across the tailgate (I know, right, what was GM thinking not plating it?). The problem is it bends the inner panel. The inner panel barely clears the window when the gate has a power window... so to fix
yes, with a engine hoist. I'm going to plate it with something (probably 1/4" aluminum) then carpet that. Might even attach the inner gate to the outer new skin
how tight you might ask.... these bolts, stock, are short but not short enough - they hit and prevent the window from fully opening
and as you might sharply notice, my new bass box has arrived. Probably won't land in the back because it fits under a seat.... does the passenger seat really need a pew pew lock box under it?....
