Installed a EZ Wiring pwr window kit in my '57 cdan about
8 months ago, they work perfect and easy install. Paid
$200 for kit but I think they are $165 now. Hope this helps.

I found a number of units in the bone yard that would do. I think the Chevy Corsica had a nice regulator. This type would be easy to fit to anything. It has a single motor on a vertical shaft that has a pulley at the top and the bottom. (look slike an archer's bow) You just attach the pane to the plate and attach the pulleys near the top and bottom of the door.

I just installed the EZ wire power window units in a 1956 F-100 and they went in pretty easy!!! I belive the guy said he paid less than 200.00 and they came with the pre-wired harness for the drivers and passenger door, 2 switches for the drivers side "to control drivers and passenger window and one switch for the passenger door. The only think I needed to buy was the flex loom shield to protect the wires from the door to the jam....that was another 35.00 from Dakota Digital. I think it took me about 5 hrs total.

I believe the guy purchased the window kit from EZ Wire when he ordered the wiring kit. He found their Ad in the Street Rodder Magazine.

Forget the junk yard. Chevy rivets the regulators to the inner frame, yards won't sell door pieces if the whole door is godd, and I grabbed a set off the neighbor's car and they had a slightly curved track. I was unable to bend them so picked up a new pair at a swap meet for $150.
