Adding Power Winodows & Locks ?
How Hard Is It To Put Power Into A Truck That Didnt Come With Them?
I plan On Getting All The Parts From A Donor Truck So For The Most Part Should Be Plug And Play . But How Diffcult Is It To Make The Holes For The Wires ? Anyone Got Any Info On What Works Best ? |

It would be the easiest if you are talking about a 77-up truck. 73-76 don't have provisions for the power as that is what changed about the door design.

Yeah, manual locks automatically came with Power windows, you couldn't get the two seperate. If you get all the guts out of the donor, it will be pretty easy to swap. The power harness is seperate, just note where they connected on the donor and match them. I normally get everything that is touching the wires: door boots, clips, plugs etc.
