Door Fitment

Hi Guys, been trying to find this out for a few days. My employee was backing up our 2008 Silverado 2500hd. The door was open and it a steel railing. The door is trash. I found a door same color but the handle is above the armrest and ours is below. The salvage yard said I could switch the handle of the replacement door and use my inner panel. It's electric. Is it just a cable that has to be relocated? thanks in advance.

Hmm,

Different doors, Different years, Different models. . .

Depends, experiment.

Probably have to transfer linkages, possibly the actuator if the linkage locations are different between the two actuators.

The cable is a different length and will need to be swapped, there is also a metal bracket that is different that will need to be swapped.

Thank you for this info. wish the salvage yard was closer. Have to drive over an hour each way.

So can I get all the parts needed off my old door?  noting else to modify?  Thanks for this info.

Between the 2 doors you will have everything you need.  On some models depending on options you made need to swap the door harnesses.

Hey Ryan, just as you said. got the used door and swapped the cable linkage, a bracket and used my door panel.  Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
