thank you very very much!!! ill let you know when i get this done.

completely unrelated but you seem to be knowledgeable......i have a 77 and i want to put power windows in it...whats the easiest/best way to do it...

If you want "bolt in" power windows you need to find a donor truck and rob the motor/regulator assembly along with the door harness, and the sub harness that goes from the door jamb to the main harness. Installing anything in your doors is no picnic, but that should be the easiest way to do it.

There is one company that I know of that offers a kit that is specific for our trucks. It's offered by A1 Electric Automotive Accessories and can be found here-Look inside



You can also do a generic kit like the one installed in my 77. Roger at Stoked Out Specialties has had good experience with the kits from Specialty Power Windows so that is what we used. Since I wanted a factory look, he installed thier kit along with the factory power window and locks switches.

Here is an old post I saved on the subject that has some good info-Look inside

If you do get your parts from a donor truck you will need the door panel trim too. The old door panel will have the cut outs already, but the trim will need to be modified or replaced.


Here is what the door panel looks like under the trim....

Yep, what he said. A-1 or Specialty Pwr. Windows w/the nod toward A-1 as the easier of the 2 when retro-fitting.

Hey, N2TRUX!
I'm glad this came up. My '84 has factory power windows but it seems like they just [I]barely make it to the top. Is this just the older technology or do I need to replace something? Thanks for any help!
