Cal, I hope you can help me. I noticed on your build you used Brothers 1pc. power window kit. Did you have any issues installing them? The reason I ask is that I'm doing the same and the lift mechanism is too far towards the outside of the door. It looks as though I need to cut the inside of the door and reroute where the cable attaches. See in the pic below.

Thanks for any advise

Steve

P.S. I voted for your truck

CAL 58 GMC · 01-15-2008, 04:44 PM

Hey Steve,

I had someone install the window kit for me, so sorry but I cant give you an answer. Try contacting Bothers.

P.S. Thanks for the vote!

orgalmeister · 01-16-2008, 04:36 AM

Oh well, out comes the saw.

watahyahknow · 01-16-2008, 06:24 AM

did you by any chance switched the left and right of the kit around

orgalmeister · 01-16-2008, 07:11 AM

Nope... not possible. It only bolts on one way after you drill the holes.

02snoma · 01-29-2008, 01:29 PM

You got that engine started yet?

CAL 58 GMC · 01-29-2008, 02:26 PM

Not yet, next Saturday I will.

02snoma · 02-03-2008, 01:33 AM

We really need to hit up the Pismo car show this year. It will be alot of fun. I want to say its like the second weekend in June???? Sometime around then at least.

Daniel U · 02-03-2008, 02:24 AM

Let me know if you'll make it. I'd like to see the truck in person and get a chance to meet you.

Hey Bernie, I did get it figured out. I had to rotate the cranks and the adjust the lifters. All I have left is to bolt up one more header and put the cap & wires back on.
