Re: #minijimmygmc Wifey's 1990 K5 Jimmy rebuild

Next up was the tailgate - kind of a pain to put on solo lol. I did however get the power switch on the back working and also wired in remote control operation so you can lower or raise the window from the key fob (ie. while walking up to it and wanting to load stuff in the back)

Biggest issue was the trim - I had put in new window channels to replace the rusted away originals, then the exterior rubber seal worked ok, but when adding the interior seal it was WAY too tight. Window would barely move. For now - no interior seal, I might try to use a second exterior seal on the inside or I'll try to find an old worn out one lol.


Added the trim & new bumper (without the factory style trim on the bumper - just the clean chrome style)

The filler panel between the bumper and the back of the truck isn't in, I haven't painted it yet as it was pretty beat up. I'll probably either just replace it or use bedliner on it.
