Electric-life scissor lift style that bolt into the factory holes. Got them in my 70 and they work great.

Re: power window suggestions

Dont use the ones form LMC Truck. they will work ok for a while but the plastic gears and gear adapters will shear off and the motor mechanism will fail. the one good thing about LMC is they will send you another one free when this one fails. i am on #4 and i only paid them once.

Thanks for the warning. I was actually considering them.

I did it once, but won't do it again.
