The BROTHERS kit for the ’67-72 trucks is this PN# PWK0000 67-72. It’s a kit that is specific to these trucks only, so the new regulators bolt-up right in the stock location as the originals. Stock GM style switches are included with the conversion kit.
-
-
We started by removing the armrests, door handles, window cranks, and speakers from the doors.
-
-
Then the door panels were carefully pulled off and set aside.
-
-
Proceeded to remove all the screws in the door, including those that hold the channel in place since we were replacing the seals.
-
-
There’s actually as many screws for the channel as there are for the regulator.
-
-
Finally, the lower two of the six screws that hold it in place were removed…
-
-
…Along with the three that hold the vent window in place.
-
-
With the window down, the vent window assembly was then slid backward and up and out of the door.
-
-
Slide the glass track of each end of the regulator.
-
-
The glass could then removed from the door.
-
-
Lastly, the four remaining screws holding the regulator were removed…
-
-
…and the manual regulator was relieved of duty.
-
-
The comparison shot shows just how similar the power window regulator is to the stock unit. this makes for a much easier install.
-
-
While the glass was out, pry out the stock clips to remove the rotten felts from the door.
-
-
Peel out the stock window channel.
-
-
The new felts from BROTHERS went in just as easily as the old stuff came out.
-
-
Since the power regulator is roughly the same shape and size of the stocker, it slips right in the door without cutting the dreaded access hole.
-
-
New hardware is provided to secure the power regulator to the door.
-
-
Drop the glass back into the door. The new regulator was lined up and slipped into each end of the channel.
-
-
The new channel was pressed into the vent window assembly.
-
-
Then the assembly was returned to it’s home in the door.
-
-
Feed the switch plugs through the door and ran the wiring accordingly.
-
-
Ditto for the new channel.
-
-
Once the left-sdie to right-side connections were made, all that was left to do was hook up the power to the ground.
-
-
Run a power wire directly off of the battery and through a fusible link to power the windows.
-
-
Holes must be drilled through the doorjamb to run the wires right rubber grommet, it will make for a clean installation.
-
-
Finally, the crank holes were notched so the factory GM-style switches would snap into place. Our old ’67 is quickly turning into quite the luxury vehicle!

Hello what is the average cost on labor should be for this kit? If I take all parts to a auto custom shop and don’t want to be ripped off on labor prices?
Hi Joe. Not sure that we can give a good estimate. You might want to visit a few local shops and show them what you have in mind. They should be able to give you an estimate.
I have seen window switches that look just like the factory crank handle and mount in the same location. All that is required to operate them is a small push up or down. Do you have these and if not where can I buy them?
We sell those, here’s a link: https://www.brotherstrucks.com/1947-87-CHEVY_GMC-TRUCK-CUSTOM-POWER-WINDOW-SWITCH/productinfo/PWS4787/
