Re: INTRODUCTION (w/ pics!) + 3rd door lock question

Welcome to the best place on the net for Chevy trucks!

What specifically are you having an issue with on the 3rd door lock?

All of them had the push button on the hinge side, and there are long rods that actuate the lock on the latch. None of those rods, nor clips are reproduced. (people may say they have the clips, but rerpo clips are either too small or too large. They need to be perfect fits, otherwise the mechanism will be sloppy).

Believe me, I spent the better part of a year hunting for these little parts.
Plus, putting it together is a bit of a challenge. Though the big truck book has a good diagram of how it is installed.

Cool pop up by the way! I had to take a second look at it to get the whole theme. Share some more pictures of your burb and that cool pop up!
