Swapping doors

I picked up a set of power doors for my truck. I currently have power doors.. Wondering where everything unplugs .. The doors I picked up only has a wire coming off the window motor I believe and they cut it.. Just wanna see what's involved before I get into it

HA. Good luck. The drivers door has the the WHOLE harness that runs all the way across the BACK of the dash and has plug at the passenger kick panel. It is a real project

Yea I do know that and I have found out that I can just unplug everything inside of the door and pull the wires out where they go in so I don't think it will be that bad

That's what I did when I swapped doors on my '90 a few years ago.. went pretty easy.

Easier to swap fenders with the doors off but then you have no reference for alignment so maybe put the doors on and get it lined up with the old fenders first, you just need an extension to get to one of the fender bolts in the door jam after that.

Everthing along the sides and front of the engine bay is attached to the fenders, so you will need to remove the grill, headlights, battery and tray, and airbox, and then remove bolts and screws connecting the fenders to the rad support, front trim below grill and headlights, inner fenders, and the cab(3 bolts 1 top, 1 middle between door hinges, 1 bottom.
