Anybody ever swapper rear manual window to power set-up before? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was wondering how hard it would be to change the rear manual window set-up to a power set-up. I know that the window regulators are different, and such. But what all else is involved??

Thanks!

If you do this I would gladly take the manual parts off your hands.
PM me if you get that far.

I got lucky and found everything at pick ur part. It's a simple swap. The mount for the motor is there, just bolt it up. Hardest part was cutting a hole in the dash for the switch. You need to make sure the glass slides smoothly, maybe new felt. I use silicone spray. Wife says it's the best mod I've ever done to the beast!

Thanks for the information. I noticed last night that my rear glass is full of light scratches too. Where does the wiring go for the relays, fuse panel, etc? Does some of the wiring mount on that block thing with the tabs on it?

Don't recall a block. I used an inline fuse to simplify - no relay. It's worked for 6 years that way. There is a cutout switch that will not allow movement while the gate is down. Bypassed that.
