Cal, I hope you can help me. I noticed on your build you used Brothers 1pc. power window kit. Did you have any issues installing them? The reason I ask is that I'm doing the same and the lift mechanism is too far towards the outside of the door. It looks as though I need to cut the inside of the door and reroute where the cable attaches. See in the pic below.

Thanks for any advise

Steve

P.S. I voted for your truck:metal:

Hey Steve,

I had someone install the window kit for me, so sorry but I cant give you an answer. Try contacting Bothers.

P.S. Thanks for the vote!

Nope... not possible. It only bolts on one way after you drill the holes.

Hey Bernie, I did get it figured out. I had to rotate the cranks and the adjust the lifters. All I have left is to bolt up one more header and put the cap & wires back on.
