Adding power windows

I have a 73 Explorer and I wish to add power windows. I can handle the wiring but does anyone know if the regulator assembly from a later truck (87) will fit in place of the original?

I doubt it.
There have been 3 body changes since your truck.

I like the looks of that A1 Electric kit. If money was no issue I would own a couple sets.
