Electric Life makes a universal power window kit that will work, it's about $100 a side though. You can use Cadillac solenoids to actuate your existing door locks, or go with a kit to add in remote keyless entry.

This is what i did for power windows, I used an electric motor from a 89 mustang with another gear welded ontop the other to make it reach.
Here is the front view of the motor mounted.
Here is the back part , you can see the bracket that I made to mount the motor.
Here is the finshed look. You can run one 40amp relay to power both windows.

Yep, love my power accesories, its nice to be able to roll the pasenger window up and down without leaning way over and getting in a wreck. Plus I like have the keyless entry and burgler alarm. Its already saved my XM radio at least once.

The motors are out of a 89 mustang and the spurs are out of the same motor that I took apart at the pick your parts. You will have to grind everything of untill your left with the spur it's self then weld it on top of the other spur.
As for how it works they work great, the windows go up fast with the help of the stock coil spring assisting the motor.

thanks, I am going to check one more application first before I use mustang motors.I think the 90's trucks may have more gear exposed.I would like to make it easier for replacement in the future without modifying the gears.I will report back if I find anything new.
