Not from the factory, several kits out there. Two main types, generic and specific.
I think the A1electric is the better one, specific to these truck and includes new regulator. (http://www.a1electric.com/catalog/cat_fordtruck.htm) $239
I think others here have actually installed this system.
Good Luck -KarlJay.

I did this in a 77 f150. The kits for what ever reasons don't come with the wiring and switches they are 40-80 dollars more. I found an 80 Bronco and used its wiring and switches got them for like 10 bucks.
The only way I have ever seen the regulators is in the custom kits.

I used the parts from a '86 F150 - wiring harness, switches, motors. It requires some cutting/welding to mount the motors onto my '73 regulators. From there it was a matter of running the harness, plugging it in and running one power wire. And the best part is if I need parts, I can get them from any parts store - no need to try and track down some aftermarket company...
I don't have power locks - but the '86 wiring harness has the lock wiring included. So I will just mount solinoids, switches and run a power wire.
