88GMCtruck's 99 6.5L Towpig slow build.

Those handles were designed for a door that was way up high, (on a kodiak or topkick) where it would have been tough to lift a standard syle GMT400 handle.

As for the mirror thing...Have you replaced your door panel clips with velcro?

sound?

Yup, they have a very distinct sound when you use them.

Exactly, function trumped style on the medium duty trucks. And no, the panels get new Christmas tree clips each time. I've had those doors apart so many times I don't think I could count or even remember every time.

hmmmm... I'll have to check them out.

GMT800 trailer harness. Picked this up on ebay cheap, going to re-wire the trailer plug and brake controller my way, with lots of weatherpack connectors.

This is why I'm adding a later model harness: So I can easily replace the trailer connector if it becomes damaged (which seems to frequently happen to me)

My favorite style plug, 7-pin and 4-pin combination made by Hopkins. They have gasketed covers over both connectors, and have fully sealed backsides. This model plugs directly into a factory GMT800 harness.

And I can't get any of this installed, cause well, the snow has been coming down all day. I did stop on my way back from work and get a few better pictures of her with the polished PY0s, Towing mirrors and Topkick/Kodiak handles.

those shots, the handles look better

 

[Fobroader]

The handles look amazing, I like the look of them. They look tough enough to winch off of them. I say keep them, between the mirrors, wheels and handles thats the best looking 3/4 ton quad cab Ive ever seen.

 

[BURBAN GUY]

Just me but the handles just don't do it for me. The mirrors are great though

Wired up the new trailer plug today. Removed the 6-pin round style plug and this T adapter.

It's still snowing so I backed the tail of the truck in the garage, so I could at least be dry....

I had planned on installing that GMT800 harness, come to find out these trucks are already wired for an RV plug, something I wasn't aware of. So, I instead just added a GMT800 style plug and soldiered everything together.

Now I just need to drill a larger hole and mount it in the bumper. I'm disappointed the PO installed the 6-pin round in the bumper where the left licence plate light was at, but it seems to be a common occurance on these trucks. Nothing I can do but re-cover it with another plug. While I was under there I pulled the licence plate harness out and tapped into it for my dually clearance light.

And after lots of measurements.
