Aussie chev pickup PM me your e-mail address and I'll forward the template.

I have made electric window lifts utilising the original manual lifts, removing the small hand cranked pinion and replacing with an electric window lift motor out of a modern vehicle.
In my case I used a lift motor out of a Lexus LS400, which had a similar tooth pitch to the original chevy, and I cut and welded in the LS400 motor carrier so the motor engaged with the chevy regulator quadrant gear.
I'm sure that there will be other lift motors out there that could be adapted.
