1975 K5 Blazer- another beach truck!

[Berg]

So one of my friends busted the manual window crank handle and I thought I had a good replacement but upon taking it apart I found out the replacement was worse off than the original. I have yet to decide if I'm going to go electric with the back window since I have a power tailgate but I think I might stick with the manual setup simply to have less things that could possibly go wrong. In a pinch, I made a new socket to facilitate rolling the back window up and down. I took a used window crank clutch and pressed an old socket I had laying around into it. It held pretty nice for the most part but I noticed when I got the window nearly all the way closed it slipped. My solution was to just take my Mig welder and put 2 tacks on the top of the socket to keep it from rotating. In the future I can just whack them with a punch and clean up the socket. I thought I'd share for you guys with window troubles
