As far as I know there isn't any. My doors are shaved. I have the kit to install. I've heard 20 lb -45 lbs?? Biggest worry is how & where to mount to get a straight pull. S/M patches are on evilbay.

Presently I use the wing window for entrance. For fear of mounting everything and finding a huge problem. I've rolled the window up & down looking for an idea spot. But not confident. Someone responded told me 6 inches down from the VIN plate using the 8 inches cable extension?? Assuming that as a guide for the place in the door I guess. Just hate to drill holes though the door to find a better spot. Here is a pic of the doors shaved before the truck was on the road. I will monitor any responses you get.

some ware I found this pic i belive is used to pop door manuelly using the factory key

ibad57 · 03-23-2008, 06:40 PM

also I plan to use the factory interior pull lock rod as a release to open while window is rolled down. and trunk release remote to trigger the relay on drivers door

Sammy · 03-23-2008, 06:44 PM

Another factor to consider is if you go to a one piece window it might disturb the placement too.

I wouldn't go less than the 45 pound solenoids. I started with 35 pound on the Stude, they soon burnt up. The company I bought them from "autoloc" later upgraded to a heavier solenoid. The stronger the pull, the longer they will last. A light pull may work fine but heat up more which eventually leads to failure. I currently have a set of 50 pounders that I will be installing. I'm tired of replacing them. It will be the third set I've installed on the same truck.

Hard to think that to trip the latch mech. in the door would take more than 5-10 lbs actual pull strength. I have 40 lb Autoloc's in my kit now, guess thwy will do for starters.

ibad57 · 03-24-2008, 01:45 AM

I belive conecting to the right spot on the latch is the trick
If your siliniod must move lots of linkage it come's at a cost of energy
I would like to see pic's of installed setups on our 67-72 models

I do not know anything about shaving door handles but I recently got two sets of door popper solenoids in a parts deal and they are for sale. If you are interested check the 67-72 parts for sale forum. Thanks.

ibad57 · 03-27-2008, 04:14 PM

Im sure this has been done to many trucks but we need pic's and sugestions
