How To : Manual to Power Windows

I just did a conversion from manual windows to power windows, I didn't do the locks since I shaved the handles, so there is no need to have power locks. I did the conversion using the stock power regulators from another s-series truck, some people just buy an aftermarket kit like spal or autoloc , but I didn't want the manual crank piece sticking out of my door panel (aftermarket kits come with a cover), and I think that theres less things to go wrong with the the stock regulators than the aftermarket kits, I took some pictures, I hope they are use full for you if you are going to do the same conversion.

This is interactive so if you have any questions or comments, fire away.
