Power window question

I have a question that I hope somebody out there can help me with... I have a 1985 F150 4WD that has power windows. Both the driver and passenger sides are inoperable. The will let the window down, but won't roll them back up.

Anyway, since I use this truck for a farm hauler, I am wondering if it is possible to simply eliminate the window motors and put a crank on the door panels where the window switches are located? Is this possible, and if so, what would I need to do to make it happen? I'm hoping to avoid the cost of two new window motors (around $50 to $60 each), but if the hassle of changing over to a crank is not worth it, then I guess I'll have to go ahead and buy them.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

It's way too much hassle to convert to manual, and if you get decent reman motors, they'll last 20 years.
