Yep new regulators/motors should be it. Your door panel hole might not line up right with the switches though.

BTW I have a full pw/pl setup if you are interested

just a question; why would you go from power to manual? had a lot of trouble with power?

RICKSRAT · 09-09-2004, 01:03 AM

Truck ('82) is not a daily driver and have had lots a problems with the motors.Truck sees most of it time at the race track and local cruises,so power windows is more a pain than anything.

I have been tossing the idea of getting rid of the power windows also. THEY SUCK. they are slow, I have even put knew motors, greased, cleaned and I am tired of it.

Sheesh....guess Im glad I have manual roll ups.

cliffsta · 09-09-2004, 04:38 PM

lmao
I'm keeping it real with manuals!!!! power would be useful for rolling down passenger side window and locking it from my side, but convinience general isn't what there trucks are about

Mine are really slow when the truck isn't running, but if my truck is running my power windows seem to work fairly well...

Lynx · 09-10-2004, 05:42 PM

Mine are very poor/dont go up all the way if the engine is off and they slowly go up and down when its on. Is there any way or has any one ever thought of putting a diffrent motor from a diffrent vehicle in there? or is that even possible at all?

milehightoyz · 06-07-2005, 04:34 PM
