Default door swap

I have a pair of clean doors to replace my originals. The clean doors are electric, but my truck came with manual windows. Door to Cab plug is the same configuration, but all the wires that would needed to support the electric door is not in the cab harness. I don't have the switches and door panels anyway, so I am thinking of swapping the manual regulators and other bits into the new doors.

Anyone have advice/tricks for that process?

Thanks!

Yep, easily done. I don't recall if some of it is riveted from the factory though.... But, if it is, you can rent a rivet gun from the local parts store.

Finally got to the spare door. Was easy to empty it out. Didn't notice the metal fatigue at the lower frame hole. Buy a rust free door, and I'm still welding on it... Had to figure out where the hole was supposed to be, then create a patch. Pic for your amusement.
