Default power window bolt-up?

Does anybody know if an OEM power window kit will bolt right upin my truck or should i go for a universal kit?
the universal will most likely need modifying the door, if the OEM kit will work i'll save the hassle and spend some more $$

The OEM kit WILL "bolt up" to the door, but will need some modifying as far as wiring to work. I know it will bolt up because my driver's door came off a dakota with manual windows/locks after my accident, the window mechanismbolted right up. The actual door latch assembly bolted up differently though. Kinda weird, we had to drill different holes in the door.

what would i need power-wise?
relays, wires, switches...
another question. where in the door does the motor sit?
I currently have an 8" sub in the original speaker hole (cut out of course)
and i don't want to interfere

You need switches, relaysand should geta power window module. This way it stops when the window is all the way up/down and it allows you if you want to do the auto-down feature. If you don't care about that, a double-pole momentary switch and some relays will work just fine.

I'll probably just get the OEM kit that should have everything i need but it's more expensive up-front.
