find a car with power windows, take the regulators and as much wiring as you can get and the switches. install the power regulators in your doors and wire up the switches. you might need all of the "guts" from the power window door. all of the power stuff will go right in your door

I'll trade you straight up for the guts. Its hard to find a manual anything, and being 6'4" with a two door, I don't mind cranks.

Dang it I've offered my manual stuff for a trade around here before at least twice and nobody wants it and he gets a trade without even trying!

Anyway, from what I know from the little bit of research I've done trying to do the same thing as you, the easiest thing would be to as stated, swap the whole dang door. If that's not an option, I would suggest that when you get your swap parts, you pull them yourself, or if you buy them have the seller take lots of pics on placement because not everything will go back in the same place in the door that your stuff came out of. Also I know that window equipment from an 83-86 will not work in an 87/88 door and vice versa. I don't know about locks.
