I have an 83 El Camino with power windows that I want to change to manual. I also have an 84 Cutlass body with manual windows. Can I swap between the two? Can I simply remove the power window motor and bolt in the manual crank and handle? Anybody want the power window stuff cheap? Thanks. JO-JO

Sweet. Thanks. I was hoping it would be fairly simple but wanted to ask before I got half way in and screwed something up. Not that THAT has ever happened!

Remember to use steel rivets when putting it back together, or use small bolts. Aluminum rivets will fail; a friend tried it.
