Power window switch. What are y'all using? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys. Need a brain break from the engine swap dilemma. So I'm going to order the power windows for the 'burb. I'm having some difficulty figuring out which switches to use. I have the '72 door panels with the raised area on the window crank area (long regulator). I would like to use the regular chrome up and down switches (standard GM style). What I can't figure out is if it will cover the hole if I cut off that raised area and place them in that spot. Has anyone done it that way? I know I can use the window crank switches, and while that looks super stock, I can't justify 120.00 each for switches. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Shawn

I know someone has to be running power windows with a stock interior, right?

. . . .

Here's the only picture I've saved of a power window switch.

It's a '72 Chevy 400 . . . looks like it could have come that way from the factory.

THat one looks Good! Unfortunately I can't do the wood on the overlays suburban dor panels. The rear door ones would be very difficult to make.
