Look what I found in my door. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have had this truck for almost a year. I was driving it around yesterday and went to roll down the window and it would not go down all the way. I thought it was weird since the whole time I have had the truck it has worked just fine.

I decide today to open up the door to see what the problem was.

THIS IS WHAT I FOUND! (Whats the part number for a 2x4x15'')

Thats strange, why in the world would someone put a piece of wood in the door?

It was probably used to hold the window up during a regulator, motor, or glass change. I left a flashlight in the door of a Chevelle one time, and didn't notice it until the new owner was driving off and I could see the glow from the wing window. LOL

Cheap alternative for sound deadening material?

I was actually kinda depressed. I thought the repair would take some time. Ya know.... be an actual project LOL

5 min later I was done.

I used to own a lifted 79 Chevy pickup and once I was replacing an alternator and 4 months later I was under the hood and I realized I left a crowbar on top oif the radiator when I used it to put tension on the belt when tightening..... god knows how it stayed there without falling off and into the fan !!!!
