The power window motors that are in most newer GM cars, the ones that push and pull a nylon belt in a track, work swell for our windows. Use your old regulator, grind off the crank gear, use the belt to push and pull the window. Cheap, easy.

I have power locks on mine. I love them, no more haveing to lock the door with the key. I bought them localaly and don't remember the brand but the part that locks the door looks just like the ones that LMC sells. They disable the starter when you lock the doors for theft prevention. I had to install them a little different than the instructions said, but no problems in two years.
