Can't tell you guys how much I appreciate the videos. Being walked through it is so much easier than just looking at an exploded diagram and figuring it out yourself. These videos are pure gold.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thank you for the feedback and also for watching!

Totally agree

@@matt_1969ChevyC1o Thanks Matt!

[@jamesritter]

It's great that with the right parts and a bit if instruction, we can make our trucks brand new.

[@TheVirtual3]

Your videos are amazing, thank you guys so much for taking the time to make these step by step instruction videos. My 67 c10 would be in a much worse condition without you guys and all that you do.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Yeah, it's too bad KZbin won't let us replace an existing video with an updated or "corrected" version. Our only option is to delete this one and start over from scratch 😒.

[@erniemckracken1593]

Very helpful video, fixing to tackle. Found parts on you're website , very easy to navigate. Wish me luck.

[@deankay4434]

Wish I had this video 28 years ago. I did a pair on one truck and he told 20 friends. I did not see the punch you used to flare out the rivets but had a set of “Mathew” roll-pin punches. These punches are fractional I size, but have a “Half Ball” machined on the end. Designed to self-center on a hollow roll pin, but works great on rivets to tighten and flare out. I think I bought them from the SnapOn truck in plastic vinyl snap top package. Regardless of brand, if you do these, try “Roll-Pin” punches or grind one old punch to fit, It honestly took me 3+ hours my first time. I like the tape trick as I dropped a couple of packaged rivets the first time. Thanks for the video, info and tips as I learned the hard way! ASE Master Tech since 1978 - Retired.

Never thought that would be something important about noisy window vent although knew someone in 02 who had a 88 S10 Blazer with similar problem .You made this project look simple to take off not as easy putting back together @ least u didn't have take off door .

Taking stuff apart is almost always easier than putting it back together. Thanks for watching!

Maybe we'll do that in an upcoming video. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

Once installed, is the rubber on the bottom of the vent window frame where it meets the top of the door, supposed to flare out and lay on top of the door?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

No, tuck into the opening of the door.

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV OK, that is how it naturally wants to be it it's relaxed state but at first sections of it grabbed hold of the top of the door and wanted to flair out there - thanks

[@dalejohnson9342]

I have been through the online parts book numerous times and not found the complete vent (wind wing) window and channel assembly. I also have not found the complete door assemblies that have been featured on other videos. I am trying to rebuild my 78 Suburban and these are things I need to get as the vehicle was stripped when in storage. I am also planning to have electric windows and locks in the new doors.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Dale, the vent window assembly isn't available for 73-87, but that rubber is and the job is much easier than on 67-72. Regarding the door assemblies you asked about, call our Customer Service guys and they'll either help you find it online or they'll just take an order over the phone. [phone]

[@timothyroatenberry1274]

Hey guys ! Question, I rebuilt my windows, vents, everything on my 1968 c10 about 3 years ago ! The little pivot pin - on top where you open or close the vent window - broke, any suggestion on a fix without replacing the frame ? If I have to one side , might as well both ! Thanks guys, you all are awesome on these old trucks ! 👍

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

We sell those pins, they are called "Pivot Rivets", here's a link: www.holley.com/products/exterior/window_and_windshield/vent_windows/parts/VAR0054

Mr. welch, thanks for give us this great video! My request is to ask, where do you get the rivets kit??? Regards.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Everything in my videos comes from www.brotherstrucks.com

[@franciscoantoniosotosantan8436]

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV yeah, I check the website...very complete. Thanks!

[@mattm477]

My 68 C10 has rivets holding the vent window to the door. Can I convert that to screws rather than rivets? I bought the entire vent window assembly.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Absolutely! Someone has to have removed the original screws and placed those rivets you have because it definitely didn't come from the factory that way.

[@MicheluceRizzuto]

I just received this product an hour ago via UPS from you guys. My '67 already has the vent windows refurbished, so I'm doing this with my '69 this weekend, if I have the time. Doesn't look too bad to do. I received your flush fit side marker lenses last week and they look freakin' awesome! So much better than the bulky stock lenses! And the polished stainless tailgate protector I purchased that goes on the top rail adds some personality too. I have a question. Does Brothers sell the rivets to attach the grill fascia to the side and center brackets and the plastic inner grill section for my '69? Or can I use just plain old 1/8" rivets like I use on other projects? I haven't ground them off to check the size yet.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Good luck with the Vent Window project! Thanks for the feedback on the Side Markers too! We do sell a complete Grill Hardware kit with all those rivets and all the other associated hardware to attach the brackets and Inner Grill.

[@rickradke5838]

Great video, but you did not show how to get the upper section of rubber into the channel. You slid the bottom in from the end, but that will not be an option for the top. How did you get it on? Thanks

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

At about the 15:55 mark, you'll see that Dave explains to tuck the lower portion of the rubber into the metal channel, and then using a plastic spatula tuck the other side of the rubber the rest of the way into the channel. We have a video for 1960-63 Vent Windows which are very similar and may also illustrate it better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp6yYZxqpJxjgqs

[@sublimeadventures7952]

Once the vent window is installed, how can one prevent water from running between the vent window rubber and the door metal? I have about a 3/8” gap at the bottom of my vent window.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

You shouldn't have a gap, so something is wrong. What year is the truck?

[@sublimeadventures7952]

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

You have to disassemble it to install the rubber. Our rivets don't come with the rubber, we sell them separately because some people prefer to use regular rivets.
