..Power Windows Advise - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jim-bob · 08-16-2011, 08:44 AM

..I'm wanting to put power windows only (not door locks) in my '72 C10..My friend that's doing most of the build said we're close to that stage and that I need to decide and go ahead and order..He doesn't have suggestions on what brand or supplier..can yall help? I'm looking at a kit at Summit called Electric-Life..says it will bolt directly in place of the original mechanical ones @$254.
What do you guys think?..thanks for any advise.

X3 I used them too, but gees I had a had time getting the rollers to stay in the tracks while installing - no fault of A1 though. There's just not much room in the door openings to operate. Well worth it though.

..part# ELI-GM49-K..for 67-72..page291

eagleuh1 · 08-17-2011, 09:59 PM

Yep, Thats them. What switches has everyone been using, Also, how did you route through doors into cab. I used the old chrome Chevy switches in mine and routed wire through a rubber wire channel from my 96 Blazer. Every once in a while, if the door is open the switch won't work. Think its binding up the wire or something.

..I've just ordered ..I'll probably be back on here asking questions..
