Re: converting to power windows

If it was me I would stick with the factory GM stuff. It is tried and proven and when it finally wears out replacement parts are easy to come by. The install is straight forward and much easier than afermarket stuff. I have helped friends install aftermarket kits. They were a hassle to put in and just never seemed to work as well as the OEM stuff. Plus when stuff does break on them you have to order the parts and hope that company is still in business or the parts aren't obsolete. Aftermarket is fine if you can't find factory parts or it is a model vehicle the company that manufactured it never put PW in. When it comes down to it you just can't beat GM parts

LMC is decent. I would suggest getting as much factory GM parts as possible though. You would definitely need a factory harness and relay. Pretty easy to come by. They I guess you could buy aftermarket regulators and motors from LMC if you wanted. At least that way it is easy to find replacement parts as needed.

Check out a company called new relic http://www.nu-relics.com/
I used these in a 47 build project and they are awesome. They are designed specific for your vehicle and are not universal. Their system bolts in place of stock regulator.
