  • I put the latches in the cab ... the strikers on the door ... used a negative groung relay to power a solinoid pulling down ... with a weldind wire added sticking out the floor underneath with a bolt head on it for a diquise ... then used ground buttons anywhere you want to put them to open the door ... I stuck one in the mirror ... to lock you shut of the power to the solinoids with a hidden keyed switch ...

  • I could not understand how bloody rough this was being done as you proceed with the drivers side latch. Then you improved it bit by bit. By the time you'd done that side it was fair to ugly but I could see the strength? Then you go to the right side and proceed to copy it in a fast and tidy manner such that I finally understood you had researched while you work and got them both good enough to trust and barely notice the construction. Just lucky I'm not a betting man or I might have done my dinner on this episode Brent. Compliments Ol' son! Staying subscribed for further surprises LOL!!!

  • Latches look great. Those post brackets look coo. If you're gonna put an inside panel behind the seat around the corner maybe the additional bracing could be incorporated into that? Look forward to more on the GMC. Be safe and stay well.

Also yes those Cummings Desiel 5.9 litre have knock bit like on cold start till after 15 minutes clear if not that usually knock is mean need bleeding injectors on head or injection pump and sometimes saying need valves some adjustments to tighten up bit or need engine oil need changed too! You can try put 200 ml of GM Automatic Transmission fluid in fuel tank too and quickly take knock out to help lots!
