Thanks ... yeah I have done mine ala "junkyard" style all you really need is the motor to adapt to your "extra" regulators. I had a couple of extra's floating around from junk doors. I went to the junk.....Salvage yard and got a couple of motors off of mid 90's vans and trucks early Dakotas have the same motor but different regulators. Snag the wiring and switches too or hit the help section at the local parts store for switches . I made a 3 hole thin metal plate that would match the bolt pattern and tacked it to the modified regulator. (watch your clocking of the motor (it matters) hence (??? is that a word really?) the tack instead of solid weld yet. test it and aligned it. since your using your old regulators you know they fit. but the motors have to clear the inner structure. mine took me a couple of tries to get right and I found out that it was best @ straight down position
old regulator with the "crank mechanism" gutted don't remove "bump". you need it.

slightly bigger hole (for me to actually see what I'm doing in there) for motor alignment

here you can see the thin 18 gauge metal plate. it has a curve on the inside side matching the curve of the gear to clear.

see the bump helps clear the bolts.. it's tight!

finished and clocked to fit in the door without hitting the vent window and side window chanel.

total cost.. $37.00 from the salvage yard. (got 4 motors since I have 4 windows)
total time making and installing. (not counting scratching my head for a bit to "finagly things") was about
1.5 hours making (scratching head the whole time) plate took the longest to figure out right.
1 hour installing. (forgot I had to remove a few parts first (DUH):banghead:
wiring was a bit tricky for me since there didn't seem to be any good looking switches in the salvage yard and on the next car I'm cheating.
I'm buying one of the ready made power window kits just for the wiring and tossing the junk window motors or just a wiring kit like this:
