I've seen a few members on here do this mod. I think I've seen some use aftermarket kits, but most seem to get the OEM switches, be it either new parts or from a donor truck. Here is a good link with some documentation\diagrams on how to do the install. This particular swap was from an 03'. I'd try to find the switches and all from a 98' just to be safe, since it looks like yours is a 98'.

This thread should be posted in the appropriate year truck forum or one of the body forums, not the V-6 engines forum.

... or maybe even the electrical section.

To the OP, the whole door swap is actually probably the best bet, as long as you have all the components from the donor truck (window motors, mounts, hardware for the glass, etc.) I would post this in the electrical section, and find out what all you might need to add to your truck to wire up the power doors\windows.

its not a problem. PM a moderator and they can move it to the appropriate place, and you'll most likely get more responses too

and welcome to the forum. Good to have another 98 on board
