Electric Windows
Has anyone installed electric windows? I'm sure they have. How did you attach the electric assembly to the inside of the door? I'm trying not to drill holes outside the inner door panel cover.

Re: Electric Windows
Are you looking at that particular setup or asking for suggestions? If it's the later I'd recommend Nu-relics as their kit is 100% bolt in with no modifications beside running a wire. I have them and the motors are plenty powerful. Not as cheap as those but worth the extra dollars to me being American made and bolt on.

Re: Electric Windows
Oh thanks, never heard of them:
http://www.nu-relics.com/product-p/16480-215.htm I like that kit because it has the switches that use the stock window cranks with it.

Re: Electric Windows
That's how I went. I don't know why the picture turned like that.

Re: Electric Windows
Thanks. Looks great. By now the cost wont be that far out of line of what I'm doing for this truck anyway.

Re: Electric Windows
On the 'crank switch', are you able to control the passenger window with it as well?

Re: Electric Windows
Not from out the box. I've been talking to my wiring guy who assures me it can be done with switches and relays. I'm planing on using an old stock switch from the dash to select driver or passenger side. I don't want to see a toggle. It's going to get done soon so I'll update this post at that time.

Re: Electric Windows
I also vote for the Nu-Relics set up. I went with a universal set up like the one you posted and while it works fine it was a pain in the A$$ to install and look decent. The window tracks are designed to bolt direct to the door which would be fine if you had a full size door panel such as on a 73 C-10. I didn't want to have screws showing below the door panel so I made a mounting plate out of 3/16" aluminum, screwed the Power Window track to that then bolted the aluminum plate to the door where it would be covered by our Small Door Panel. I ended up making standoffs or spacers out of nylon stock to get the power window mechanism to line up with the factory window tracks. It was a LOT of work with a LOT of aggravation. On top of that I knocked out the support that was holding the window up as I was maneuvering the Power Window system in place breaking the drivers window. I only paid a little over $100.00 for the kit with Power Window Motors, Tracks, Wiring Harness & Switches but was it worth it NO!!!!! Oh, you will need to remove the front fenders to drill your holes in the door opening & door for your wiring conduits. The front bumper can stay on the truck but the cowl panels will need to come off. Be sure to tape up the bumper, door & fender edges, so you don't scratch them when removing & installing your fenders. Use SEVERAL layers of tape where you will be drilling on the door edge in case the drill chuck hits it. Better safe than sorry. As you can see I had a little blood loss - I healed your truck won't! I drilled BIG holes for my conduits because I used a Factory Power Window & Door Lock wiring harness from an 76 C-10 and needed to pass the factory wiring connectors through them. That little white nub you see in the 3rd picture with the installed conduit? That's the door jamb switch for the courtesy lights - I added foot well lights from the same donor 76 Truck I figured as long as I was drilling holes & running wiring I may as well have courtesy lights come on when I open the doors.

Re: Electric Windows
This is the wiring diagram I got from Nu-Relics on how to control both windows from one switch.

Re: Electric Windows
I am not sure where you stand with this, but you can review how I did it without any visible holes from the inside of the vehicle.
Scroll down to get to the start of my adaptation to power windows....P.S. they work awesome! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=512904&page=6

Re: Electric Windows
I'm anxious to see and hear how well the one piece windows work. I've seen only one other member with a '60-'63 go with one piece door windows.

Re: Electric Windows
I believe that is where The1960APE bought his power window kit with one piece glass.
