I'm looking for a driver's side power window switch, both front door power lock switches, and the brushed aluminum trim plates / trimming.

The switches and alumnimum plate and trimming around the plate are shown here: I would also need the pull strap covers if they arn't damaged, I've only got one left....

This truck has manual locks and windows. Sorry.

What color is the interior? If tan can you tell me the shape and style of the trim on the front door panels? I'm looking for the manual style like you have but the trim level with the chrome trim (ring) around a part of it.

The door panels are not in very good shape. Too much sun and now the plastic is deteriorating.

Sounds like what I've got now

I'm looking for the rear electric motor for the tailgate window and the plastic piece that bolts to the radiator support for the fresh air hook up to the air cleaner.

72bigblock4wd · 03-10-2004, 07:56 PM

The plastic piece is missing for the fresh air intake. I think that the rear window motor is good. I will see if I can get it out and I will let you know if it works.

I pulled the rear window motor and tried to see if it would run if I contacted the posts on the battery briefly. It didn't want to run, however I don't know if the motor works once it's disengaged from the window mechanism in the tailgate. If you know if another way to check the motor let me know. I do have access to an ohm meter if you know what it should be for this motor.
