knighthawk Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 thought you guys may be intrested in some pictures of a easy way to put electric windows in the '48 Dodge ( or anything else )..................1st picture.... original parts, 2nd picture, parts swapped, (arms) .....3rd picture all installed[/img] Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Larry..that is very good..I used 86 Diplomat power windows in my 52 Club coupe..the rear needed a slight mod but the fronts were a bolt in by swapping left to right..regulator bolts in same place but the motor is now just under the vent window pivot Quote
knighthawk Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Posted March 10, 2008 I ran in to alot of extra problems, due to the chopped top ,where I chose to bump the top of the windows in, instead of widening the roof, resulting in top and sections of the window channels don't line up, had to move the lower channels..... then the fluch door handles I used, stuck into the door cavity too far, hitting the window operator..... then changed all the operating linkage for the new handles and the electric lock solenoid.....BUT, the basic electric motor job was the easyest part Quote
hkestes41 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Larry, What were the electrics out of? Quote
knighthawk Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 I wasn't sureif anyone here was really intrested in this, but if there is... I'll get a picture of the completed door assy with the electric door locks in it also.............all the parts are from a "85 chrysler 5th Ave which I bought (not running ) for $500, so far I've used the entire drive train, including the front suspension, brakes and steering, seats, window stuff, nuts, bolts, etc....
