Power windows. Any kits that work?

I like to take my dog in the cab of my truck, I hate having to lean over to roll her window down. (I know I am lazy!)

Are there any kits that work good? I would like to keep my vent windows. If there are pics of the completed door controls, I would like to see them, especially if they look original or at least same era.

Re: Power windows. Any kits that work?

I have installed several "electric-life" kits and have been satisfied how they fit and work, I currently have a set in the wife's Blazer, they seem to be holding up well.

They do have a switch that goes in the factory window crank hole and uses the stock handle.

That looks like a great option, but I will still have to lean across the interior. Does this have an option to have a second switch attached to allow me to string wires to my side of the cab as well?

Hey WB72,
If you follow his first link then look down to "related items", you will find a wide variety of switching options.
Door, dash, console....mount the remote switches anywhere you want.

I put the A1 kit in my truck well over 12 yrs ago, the drivers side switch failed after 10+ otherwise flawless [driven daily]. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting power windows.
