Crank delete - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was kinda bored today so I decided it was time to make my window crank delete plates. I actually wanted to make them out of SS but don';t have any on hand so I made them from aluminum. Turned out OK but the damn paint chipped when I removed the screws (I kinda figured that would happen) so I guess the panels will be getting powder coated. Just gotta decide on a colour. Likely go with black or dark metallic charcoal to go with the kick panels and the new black carpet and black armrests that will be going in. I may powder coat the delete plates as well so they sorta dissappear.

Your interior looks good

Did you turn those on a lathe? Apparently you have power windows.....did you use a kit or DIY? I recognise the console as a '69-'72 , but what are the seats from?

nice color selection sharp i saw in a magazine a kit that uses the stock crank like a lever you pull it slightly up or down to raise/ lower the window but that is also nice as well

Thanks Capt. Yes, I turned them on a lathe. Don't know about the PW's, they were in the truck when I got it. The seats would be from a mid 80's Chev/GMC truck or blazer. I still need to replace that cassette player, I have a '63 radio on it's way but, alas, some knob cut the hole in the dash for the cassette so I will have to fashion some sort of face plate, likley out of SS and, perhaps engrave a boarder of some sort around it.

63deluxfleet, that sounds like a pretty neat idea. I had thought the if I was to go back to a bench seat (which isn't likely) I was going to make the 'delete' plate flat and mound the window switch on that. I like the power handle idea better.
