Later on after collecting those parts I would link them all up, in the mean time, this would work. The last challenge I have, is finding CC rear door panels that accomodate PW/PD. These parts are really hard to come by!

thats what i wanted to know, if they were the same, i would yank the motors out of my 97 and convert my rear doors, also. the rear panels just have the switch kinda stuck on them. looks aftermarket, not like the front.

I am wondering though with the rear door panels, where the manual window roller is run through, if perhaps a panel can be moddified for a single switch! Thats what I am interested in as well!

Not as of recently. About the time I get time to get in there, its too warm, and when its the right temp, I am stuck down at the arenas working the little ones.. LOL! I should have something soon!
I did have a couple snaffues with the dash I have to get back to though. For one, the fuel tank selector switch, its not connecting correctly to the plug. The selector switch is off of the gas model (should be the same?) but wont butt up against the plug, and chasing a few plugs behind the WTS light and getting those right. I may end up pulling the dash all over again and retrying. Hard to say yet. I caught some tips and info about Peal N Seal being used on the firewall and how it helped reduce cab noise from the engine.. Thinking on that one.. LOL!

Isnt it fun trying to get the rear windows removed from the doors? Took me forever to get it figured out that all the weatherstripping has to be pulled out and left hanging, before anything else can come free!
I havent had a chance to get back in to mine lately. Temps have been back up there in the "too warm" catagory.. as soon as I get a break, that will change!
