Getting a present for my 78 K10...Burb doors, but need help wiring - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting a MINT set of doors from a 1990 Burb, they have power windows, locks, and no rust at all! Also has the little storage thing on the side

Now I have a question.. since my truck is ancient, and has the old style fuse box (with the glass type fuses

), will I need to run a custom wiring set up, or can I run the wires from the doors to the fuse box? I'm pretty sure I'm getting just the doors with no wiring harness.

You can make your own harness, but it would be a much simpler swap if you had the factory wiring. You need the harness that goes from the doors to the fuseblock.

your gona want a set up the rubber boots in the door that hold the wire
the switches,the burb will have four hole in the drivers
if you use the crank panels just cut the hole square n bigger for a two switch
