2 Questions for the 73-87 Guru's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I normally stay on the 67-72 part of the board but here lately my fancy has turned toward 73-87. Doesn't matter as long as it is a chevy truck, right? Anyway, I have two questions. First, I have been told there is a difference in window regulators in 73-87 trucks. Some say they changed in 81 along with the front ends. Are there any differences, and what will interchange and what won't? I have a nice set of 81-up doors but they are power and I am going to try to put 79 manual regultors in them. Will it work? Second question. How hard is it to put a 81- up front end on an 80-down truck. I see you will have to cut the cowl for the hood hinges, but is that all? I would love to here from some one who has done it. Thanks in advance and sorry this is so long.
