Way back in 1972 my dad modified his 1960. Too many details to list, but I am trying to replicate what he did on my new 60.

One of his modifications was installing power windows. Has anyone done this? I see in the LMC catalog that they have a power window kit that you can buy. Anybody have any experience with this kit. I have also seen where some have eliminated the wing window. Where do you buy the replacement one piece window at?

 

This is the kit I think would work best and require the least (actually no) modification other than switch placement.

I want to use them with window crank style switches, but am not sure those switches can be sandwiched between the door and electric regulator. I think it depends on how deep the mounting screw bosses are, and no one at A1 has yet been able to answer that question. These are the switches I have in mind:

Pay no attention that they are listed as Chevrolet. The multiple posts allow for many uses.

 

Hi Samahi, i have a 57 f100. it has one piece glass on the passenger side from the PO so im sure you can find some or have them made.

PS if you dont want the wing windows i'll take them.

 

I used to see threads on Fordification asking how to eliminate the wing windows. Never understood that. It's one of the things I missed most when the industry saw fit to eliminate them.
