Are original trucks and panels getting hard to get now ? I haven't been to a stateside wreckers for years ( and only get the west and central ones ). We buy any old junk that come up on faceback, as everything costs a fortune to import, and you can usually make something similar work.
Same with mechanical cores, everything is game for re-building ( there was a thread on this a while back ).
Mind you - we will be like Cuba soon ( that's progress I guess .. )

When I did the power window/lock conversion I actually just bought 2 complete doors to swap everything. One had a broken window and the other window was even worse than my current ones, unfortunately.

Now dammit Ted, you best be figuring this out! If your S10 don't have a hitch, your bumper probably has a spot for a ball. And that Trailblazer I'm sure has a hitch. Get after it! Lol
