1979 Chevrolet C10 Upgrades - Concealed Weapons - Tech

A sharp, prick punch was used to align the two mounting holes on the speaker with the holes in the door.

My favorite method for cleaning off excess silicone, and restoring a paintjob's original luster, is to buff on a coating of Mothers Carnuba Cleaner Wax and polish it off with a Mothers microfiber towel.

While I had a clear shot at pulling the wiring for the Powerbass speakers and Brothers direct-fit power windows, I butt-connected a fishing line together with a length of stainless steel bailing wire.

Here's the route necessary to circumnavigate the double-wall structure found in all '73-87 C10 doors (fish around you'll find it!).

This is how Brothers direct-fit power windows are situated inside the door. Notice the boltholes for factory power windows are now used instead of the manual window regulator boltholes.

It's as simple as one, two, three. To install Brothers' power window mechanism I inserted it through the large hole in the door and inserted the white nylon roller into the window track positioned slightly below the vent window from the front of the track.

The second step is to insert the top rear white nylon roller from the rear of the rack.

The third white nylon roller on the bottom arm was installed by rolling (shoving) the power window mechanism forward to mate up with the opening in the track located at the bottom of the large access hole.

The final step was to line up the four mounting studs on the power window mechanism with the four matching holes located in the door, and then tighten the nuts.
