There’s little pins that are bent over to hold it on the panel, I use needle nose pliers to carefully straighten them out to remove the trim and gently bend them over again to reattach them
I just followed your video and the gauge selector is crooked. I have the tab in the column and it’s just a little off. I can send you pictures on Instagram if that helps any.
Brother...I cannot thank you enough ! Just today..I was reinstalling steering column on my late Grandpa's 72 Buick skylark 4 door, And couldn't figure out why that bolt wasn't going through to hold steering column together.. I must be off by 1 spline... thanks brother!
71 GMC column shift automatic will not go into park unable to find out how to tear down to clean out the shaft where the shifter livers connect to the transmission
Most of the time lube will help. I spray PB Blaster in the hole where the shifter arm goes in the column and in the column on the end where the shift linkage attaches. I plan on doing a column disassemble video soon for non tilt column
5 years later and you are still helping us folks...thank-you! I have two nice 1969 truck doors if anyone needs them. I bought them thinking they would fit my panel truck but they don't. :( I'm in Ohio.
Great video thanks for showing some tricks for the do it yourselfer. I need to do this to my own 69 and I do all my work solo. There's nothing better than a job you can do yourself and the confidence in knowing it's done right. Great content. You just earned a new subscriber.👍
Most likely the latch is stuck. Try to spray some lubricant on the latch if possible, maybe from the window opening down, and have someone tugging on the handle while you push the door from the inside. Be careful not to push in the middle of the door or kick it because it will dent, push at the back of the door. I give them a few good shoilder hits. Once you get it open remove the latch, clean and lubricate it. I recommend WD 40 Gel Lube
DAMN RIGHT T.T. This is an excellent example of watch the stinking u-boob video BEFORE you take a pair of vise grips to your "oh this will be easy" project. I can tell you with all honesty that the threaded retaining cover will come off over the lock cylinder. As before mentioned, pipe wrench on the lock cylinder under the dash and vise grips on the thread on cover ring on the outside of the dash and twisting as hard as you can for 24 minutes. Or you can watch this video (2 minutes 22 seconds) find a paper clip (4 minutes 37 seconds cuz ur junk drawer is a mess) remove the lock cylinder (another 2 minutes 22 seconds cuz you're a clutz and drop the paper clip twice) 10 minutes max.
can you put these panels on a 67 door ? i was thinking of just removing the chrome trim on the top of the door panel and it should fit fine, but haven’t found any actual advice could you happen to know ?
Yes it can be done and I have done it several times. Carefully mark where the 72 push clips go and drill new holes. At least a couple of them will interfere with existing holes so you have to get creative
the A/C is impossible for me to get past the lower dash metal to where it's dropping like what you show. I'm guessing one needs to get back in their and disassemble some of the hoses. I pushed in (forward) really hard and only got so far. No clue how one would ever get the A/C controller out, perhaps if you've done it, then the hoses were very damaged and old in the first place, mine are like brand new. BTW, I'm simply trying to change my two bulbs
@@tremaynelee2702 thanks, I tried that, thinking the socket required a twist just like, the dash lites, but they didn't budge? the one of the passenger side the most challenging as it's nearly wedged against the cigarette lighter and I don't have oversized fingers
I have seen the rubber for the vent rubber on the outside, on top of the painted surface. But they can go direction. The bolt holes with threads are 1/4" X 20 and if badly rusted or freshly painted, a tap is best practices to clean out. After decades of working on older and newer, I use a bee bee size dab of anti-seize. If not for me, but the next guy. Good info and following the shop manual assembly steps. Have a good holiday season as now, it's the 3rd of December in 2022. But this shows everyone how times this info is as related to these classic trucks. DK, ASE Master Tech since 1978, retired.
