yeah, if the door panels match as in power and non power. As in if you are going power, you need interior panels that are for power.

The door panels are no big deal sine I was planing on buying new ones anyway. So this should work with out any mods? Just take out the maunal and install the power units?

You will need to open up a hole for all the power wires in the manual door jamb. All the door panels are the same "under" the exterior trim.

Look at my pics below. If you remove the woodgrain trim panel, you can see the plastic is cut already to hold the window/lock switches. One is the left door and the other is the right door, but you can see what I'm talking about.
