Window regulators.

Im looking into swapping my electric windows for manual ones. Is it a direct swap or am I going to need something other than the regulator and the crank?

Its an 83 BTW

All you will need is the regulators and the cranks. I have them if you need them. Send me a pm if interested.

I would think you will need Door panels made for the cranks.

I've had the idea to do this for some time. The electric windows are a PIA after a while. They are great if they work. To put cranks in you would just have to cut a hole in the existing panels I would think.

the 79-83 door panels are all flat, so you can do that. the 84-85 power window door panels are not flat, so you can't, although i've seen it.
