Power windows and Power locks retrofit
Has anyone updated their older manual trucks with power windows and locks. I want to kow if there is a kit out there and if they work well or do I need to hit the salvage yard and get a set from a newer model?

Re: Power windows and Power locks retrofit
I would stick with the factory set up. It is direct plug in and better quality than most aftermarket set ups.

Re: Power windows and Power locks retrofit
I did this using the factory parts from another truck. The only surprise I ran into was my cab did not have the holes for the wiring. However, there were dimples already there where you need to drill the holes. Also, I tried to use a wiring harness from a Suburban and the windows didn't work correctly. Use a truck harness.

Re: Power windows and Power locks retrofit
I would recommend that you just find a donor truck, but if you really want to buy a kit, look at these. I'm not promoting them, never used their switch set up, but i knewthey offered these. you can always call them and ask.

Re: Power windows and Power locks retrofit
A large part of these trucks use bolts with 10mm heads to mount the gasket to the jamb and door. As I sell a lot of these harnesses I actually see more that are bolted than riveted in
