Here is a build thread for my father in laws 77 GMC where I'm adding power windows/locks and mirrors. We are using 1991 Suburban doors and 81-up interior panels but as Jeff mentioned there are dimples for where to drill. The inner and outer holes are not the same diameter-I made basic notes of this add....

Regarding the power window dimples as per 1774btcrew and gmachinz My Truck is a 79 and I know they are dimpled but seeing picture patterns for templates always helps as a backup to insure no mistakes are made

*gmachinz* · 11-17-2016, 12:12 PM

I have the diameters of the hole saws used and their locations.....it's not hard...locate the outer dimple as shown-drill all the way thru both panels with an 1/8 drill bit for example, then use the hole saws.

**68bowtie** · 11-17-2016, 01:20 PM

as a heads up it may take me a couple more days to get to this, i need daylight to take good pictures for you as i remove the parts. i hate daylight savings...

$41 shipping. these need some tlc, but the glass is soft-ray. i can do $85 shipped but that's the best i can do to make it worth my time to package them up to safely make the trip.

i've got this packed up in a 30x14x8 box, weighs 37-lbs. best shipping price i can find is fedex at $59.57.

the driver window is busted out. passenger side is good (soft-ray).

bulldozer1979 · 11-19-2016, 10:00 PM

Outstanding job on the removal & installation details. please include whatever screws and hardware it came apart with. PM - Payment sent - thank you

**68bowtie** · 11-19-2016, 11:42 PM

ok i checked out the wiring, there is a spot in the orange wire i think where you noticed. i looked over the other wires, and the only other issue i could find is this one flattened spot in the black/white wire. the rest look good to me (see 3rd pic below).

thanks. the issue is more of time, i had my wife go get some boxes for me yesterday but i miscommunicated on the size. i normally go to home depot for moving boxes (the big ones are a buck and some change) but i will keep uhaul in mind for longer boxes...

LeesTruk · 11-22-2016, 05:47 AM

No rush on the vent windows, as they are going to be a winter project for my truck. Thanks, and happy Thanksgiving
