Anyone went from electric windows to manual
 

My build truck and parts truck both have electric windows and believe it or not all 4 motors are dead and switches are ugly. Has anyone swapped over to manual.

I have manual windows and I'd kinda like to go power. The only thing is to me it's just not worth the work to convert. One of theses days I will score all the stuff in the wrecking yard. Then make that decision ;)

I just swapped my manual to electric in my 91 Silverado. Not hard at all, should be easier to go to manual for sure. I have all 4 doors of the manual stuff if interested??

Why not replace the motors and run different switches?Or even hide the switches somewhere no one will see them?

lets not turn this into a buying/selling thread

the manuals should bolt right up,mine did,manual crank comes out the switch hole.
you can run them while you sort the power issues
I used my drivers 87 burb MW/PL ,pass 89 burb PW/PL

It is easy. Take out power assembly, put in manual, hole in panel should line up too. Earlier doors were a little different, but if you have power already, shouldnt be a problem, I think.

I have replaced motors and regulators in my trucks, and I have to say, it's cheap easy and when you are done you have power windows that work like new. I think the motors were $35.

I have to take off my seat belt, slide to the middle of the bench to roll up/down my passenger window in my Suburban. I'll take power any day!

You can use any kind of cool switch you like!
