Default Powerlock/windows

So, I was thinking. I'm kind of tired of the manual stuff. How difficult is it to actually install power windows, and power locks for a 97 dodge.

You better off Trading it in for a car with it.
You need 4 window regulator, make some Wiring that didn't exist before, 4 door panels and switch.
If you have to do it, best way is to go to the Junk yard, find a truck same color, and take every doors, and have some Electrical guy run some new wires for you.

I have a pick a part just down the road. I've been there before, gotten some new mirrors. They were power. I cut the wires. But, I only have a 2 door truck. So, maybe I'll think about that. I'm going to repaint my truck eventually. So, not even worried about color! How much do you think 2 doors would cost?

You only need 2 of everything, not 4. Best way to do it is grab a set of doors and either swap them out or gut the internals. Make sure to get all wiring harnesses and everything from the donor truck. Once you get the wiring into the cab, it should be plug and play.
