Hydraulic clamshell hatch and liftgate
Hello!
I am sneaking up on having an operational 63 panel! A mild 350 and 700R4 are installed and running. I also added the front end from a 71 C-10 for the disc brakes. Still have some bodywork and interior to do, but it should be a driver soon. One additional mod I would like to do is to make the liftgate and tailgate electric or hydraulic. I had converted the panel from barn door to clamshell and it occurred to me that it would be very cool to be able to open the liftgate and tailgate with a switch. I was wondering if anybody has ever installed an electric or hydraulic opener for either side of the clamshell? If you have done this or have a reference, I would appreciate it. I have considered checking with the lowrider crowd in my area - they can apparently make anything hydraulic - but thought I would check here first. Dave |

Any pics of conversion from barn doors to clamshell?

I will post pix when I get the burb back from having the trans linkage set up. The idea of a foot activated sensor and actuators is intriguing :)
