Driver's door hold open arm

[Jeff Balazs]

Hi Guy's;

I am missing the hold open arm (mechanism) for my driver's side door.

If anyone has one they would be willing to part with please send me a PM

Thanks, Jeff

Are you talking about the small flat piece of metal that connect to the door frame and then prevents the door from swinging all the way out and stops the door in an open position. If this is what you are looking for this is called the door check arm.

I'm hitting a yard this comming Monday, I'll see if I can pul an extra for you if I have time. Let me know by Sunday evening if you still have a need.

Rich;

Thank you for the links....neither had come up in the search's I was doing. Sorry for the incorrect terminology.

So it looks like either of these items will work in place of the originals?

I kind of like the idea of using new ones.....might actually hold the door open.

For a while anyhow.......

although I dont have one to compare, are the ones on the bay the same as the ones on our trucks??? I seem to remember they looked vastly different, but what do I know.......

yes those on Epay are different than ours. I'd think I'd have time to pull one for Jeff.

Mark;

Well then I won't say no......And of course if you happen across one of those passenger side visors....well that is on my list too..

got you a pair of check arms.

If you find one more of them suckers, I need one as well.

sorry, I don't have any more, I pulled all that were out there.....and those are spoken for...

Tom, do you just need one? I am buying two, but I think I have one here at the house. When these arrive, I will let you know. I will be out of town till Friday, but can check this weekend.

[BulldogTom]

Yes, I just need one. Somehow that dumb kid of mine lost one when we tore down the truck. We have one but not the other.

I would be very happy to get one from you if you have it.

Tom, I found the one that I had. When the pair from Mark get here and I can compare, I will get this one sent to you if this one is indeed correct.

[BulldogTom]

Great. Let me know how much and I will send you a check.

This is awesome.

Tom, got the pair from Mark, one didnt have the rubber cushion on it, so I pulled out the spare one I had to see if it had a cushion, it did, but after sizing it up with the pair I got from Mark, it is about 3/8 of an inch shorter. Now I am confused. Did different year doors have different length stops??? Once I get this figured out, I will see about sending you the extra as long as the longer ones will work for me. I dont have the doors hung or I would just check.
