Power to Manual Window Conversion

[TankerMan]

Anyone aware of a resource for Suburban parts analogous to Jeff's Bronco Graveyard? Tailgate is thrashed on my '85 GMC Diesel Suburban- rather than pull it apart and hunt down a manual regulator figured I'd look for a complete Manual tailgate. Local junkyards came up empty- is there any kind of Wrecker registry or go to source that I'm missing? Many thanks for any help.

I don't know if an advertised one but I got a guy south of Dallas here that has a big parts reseller business. I take it your looking to upgrade to power windows. FWIW I think you'd be better going aftermarket than trying to adapt the OEM to a truck that didn't have it. The main reason being is that the wiring and motors from an old truck weren't that great or powerful to begin with, where as a new aftermarket setup will be new, and you can set it up to run off a relay direct from the battery. Just my $.02 though.
