need a pic and maybe some info on INSIDE tailgate handle. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**crossy** · 11-07-2007, 03:30 PM

I just inherited a tailgate that already had the outside smoothed. It has the bracket for the relocater already on the inside (no hole yet), but i have nothing else from the Kit-. Did it use the stock release handle?? what happens with the rods. thanx , crossy

I bought a reverse kit from Mar-K for around $100. It came with the rods, the cover plate and the handle. I'm not sure if the rods are the same because I didn't compare them to the stock ones. The handle from the kit I got is just an 88-98 Chevy tailgate handle which should be readily available. Here is a picture of the installed product on my truck. Sorry, I don't have any of the install process.

C-10 Driver -
That is a great picture and we would love to use it if you wouldn't mind emailing a copy to me. webmaster@mar-k.com. You hardly ever get a picture of the relocator kit from the INSIDE.
Great looking bed!
These kits are $80.00 and also include instructions which have a template for cutting the hole.

C10-Driver · 11-08-2007, 09:33 PM

Thanks Mar-Ktech. Email sent. Not trying to plug the product but I would recommend this kit. It was quite easy to install and included all the parts and instructions I needed to complete the job.

**crossy** · 11-21-2007, 08:31 PM

73-87 good pic of handle anyone?

1984 swb chevy · 11-21-2007, 09:14 PM

I usd a sir michaels kit. you use the stock rods and handle. you have to flip the rods over so the hook into the handle but it was very easy

bigblock73 · 11-21-2007, 10:08 PM

Dave, my tailgate is still at the body shop, I'll snap a pic next time I go over if it isn't too late.

I told my son that i bet you just re-use the rods flipped over. he owes me a happy meal now.

thanx, crossy

1984 swb chevy · 11-21-2007, 11:18 PM

Im in Deptford township. I was at your house and I got a rear window and some other small parts from you.

**crossy** · 11-22-2007, 05:52 AM

Bill, the harley tuner ???

1984 swb chevy · 11-22-2007, 08:37 PM

Yes sir.

**crossy** · 11-23-2007, 05:35 AM

well Bill, welcome to one of the best 73-87 forums on the net. this is the one I probably told you about.I try to tell everyone who has dealt with me.
I changed emails about a year ago and then computers appx. 9 months ago and lost every email address I had.

BTW- i got rid of the 95 883 and stepped up to a 2002 1200C .

my new email is dbcrossy@verizon.net so let me know if you need anything else.

Here's mine for my 81. Bought it from LMC. It came with new rods also.

1984 swb chevy · 11-23-2007, 09:26 PM

Good move getting a 1200 over the 883. I bet it is more fun to ride.

wouldn't know- maybe tomorrow:-), got it legal a week ago and been crappy ever since.

the 883 ran sweet for what it was cold or hot . tuning was spot on. the 1200 needs some help. Nice V&H pipes but apparantly no jetting to match.
