You might have some minor interference at the front of the door panel where it meets the dash pad. If both are power, they'll plug right in.

you will need to find the window regulator to match the one you want to use. if your truck had power windows to start with, i would go with the power. if it didnt i would go manual. you will have to drill out the rivets on the regulator, holding it to the door, and use bolts and self locking nuts to install the new ones.

Find a donor truck in a junkyard that still has good wiring, motors, & switches, and get the whole system. '80-91 use basically the same system.

i think they will becuase 87-91 panel fit on 80-86 doors but it depends on the locks also like some are on top while other one the sides. One i get power window and locks i will put my 81 panels on the 87 doors but im going to have to drill a hole on top for the lock since my 81 has the locks on the side. plus on the 81 driver panel on the top i will put a master switch from an 90 crown victoria.

'82-86 have the pushbutton locks and will go on '80-96 doors if the armrest support is positioned correctly.
