Doors not open good from inside, or handles have play? Look... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Man, I new what the solution was all along, but I didn't know how great it would be!

If your door "sticks" when you try to open it from the inside, OR if the handle just has slop in it on the inside, then I suggest replacing the inside door control(s).

Chevy Duty has some of these that are very nice quality (as some of the vendors may have, this is just who I purchased them from). They are only $11.95 a piece. The part numbers are Part #18-835 for the left (driver) and Part #18-836 for the right (passenger).

They will sping your doors open, and take the slop out of your handles. A quick, cheap, easy fix for your doors (the part you probably use the most).

Just thought I would share my new joy.

The drivers door on my new project doesn't open at all..maybe this fix will work.

G.M. USED THE EXACT SAME REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LATCHES IN THE 70s 80s & 90s . THE BONEYARDS ARE FULL OF THEM.

Personally I wouldn't dig thru the junkyard for something that's only 12 bucks new :P

But then you miss all the fun of digging thru a junkyard.

I put a used one in mine once, lasted about 6 months, then the spring broke on that one too. Not a big deal, but got a repop, that was 10 years ago, still working OK now.

Cool, those will be ordered soon! Need some door latches too. Hey why did ChevyDuty change their company name? Now it's "Classic Parts".

Green Machine · 05-07-2006, 01:55 PM

Check out this thread about the name change.
