Power window switches. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm thinking about getting power windows for my 1972 K10. I have heard that somebody makes a factory looking crank hand that is actually the switch to make the windows go up or down. With this type of switch you would not be able to tell you have power windows. I'm looking to find out who might be selling these switches. Please include web sites if you can.

Here is a source for everything you need, and I believe they also carry the handle style switches. You might use Search and look through back posts on this topic. From what I have read in the past, this is the kit to use. I know there has been some good info on both this company and the install posted on this board in the past.

If you do it, and you are able to take pics, I'm sure there would be some interest in a step-by-step installation process.

Only problem I see with those switches is if somebody doesn't know about the power windows and tries to crank the window down or up...

autothisworld has them 1-866-866-1315. If you pick up any streed rod mag you can find them. I went with the A-1 power windows

All you have to do is cut the crank hole to make the switches fit. I used the GM style. And drill some holes for the wirses to pas from the door to the cab. They work very good.If you get the relay too ther is nothing else to buy, they giv you everything.
