Converting manual windows to electric

I would like to convert my 65 f250 windows to electric, but i don't want to lose that original factory look by removing the crank handles and replacing with switches. Is there some type of rotory switch i could use with the cranks? Any ideas where to look for somthing like that? Thanks.

I've seen a kit in some hot rod mags that use the original window crank. You push the crank up for window up, and press down for window down. Don't remember where I saw it, but it was recent - you should be able to find it in your favorite rod rag.
