Sure- here is summary;
KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT SWITCHES FOR CONTROL- ONLY THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR. I AM WORKING ON RETRO SWITCH CONTROL THAT WOULD USE ORIGINAL WINDOW CRANK AS SWITCH KNOB.
FOR EACH DOOR BUY;
1 each
http://www.repairconnector.com/produ...r-1979-up.html THIS IS WIRING PLUG PIGTAIL THAT MATES TO MOTOR
1 each
https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-742-15.../dp/B000IZ2YTW THIS PART IS FOR BRACKET ONLY! MOTOR IS NOT USED! SELL IT TO YOUR 78-87 CHEVY SQUARE BODY BUDDIES! BTW, it also comes with bag of screws that you can use to connect bracket to correct Astro motor. Screws are kind of cheesy, may want to go to Ace Hardware and buy better ones, use as size template.
1 each

THIS IS CORRECT MOTOR- MUST MATE WITH BRACKET FROM AMAZON.
I will make a video soon on the actual conversion blow by blow on modifying your regulator.
TO RECAP; here is summary of my goals at beginning of project.
GOALS FOR REGULATOR-
1. Must be similar quality as Nu-relics. FEEL I MET THIS GOAL, LOOKS AND FEELS WELL MADE.
2. Should be using off the shelf parts or old OEM parts from truck. FEEL I MET THIS GOAL, USED AFTERMARKET OFF SHELF MOTOR WITH REPRO OR OEM REGULATOR.
3. Must be bolt in, should not have to hack up doors to make it work. FEEL I MET THIS GOAL. THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT TO ME> WHILE A STREET ROD/RESTRO MOD MY TRUCK, I NEVER WANT TO HACK UP MY TRUCK; I SHOULD ALWAYS BE ABLE TO RESTORE BACK TO FACTORY ORIGINAL.
4. Should be low cost. FEEL I MET THIS GOAL. APPROX $50 PER DOOR IF YOU REUSE OLD REGULATOR.
