Ditto. Easiest kit I've ever installed and works perfect. Had them in truck now for the last 10 years, still work perfect

There is a very good DIY thread thread on this recently

I converted my manual regulators to power using a pattern from a board member, bonnieclyde100 or something like that. Do a site search for power window regulators on the cheap and it should come up. He also did a YouTube video showing them installed. I have not tested mine in the truck yet but they work great on the bench. I would recommend new window channel runs also for the smoothest operation possible.

I put that kit in a 63 I had a few years back. It worked good but was a lot of work installing.

Yep, that is what I did and bought a used harness and switches from a mid-70's square body truck and bought a pair of 9-tooth motors, I have less than $100 in the entire system.

This is what I did also. I bought the motors from rockauto for $15 each and picked up 2 harness/plugs from the local junk yard. I ordered a switch setup from summit racing for 100$ (the switch setup covered the factory holes in the door panel) so I am into it for like $150. I will try and find a picture of the door panel with the switch housing.
