Will GW power windows swap into my 76 J10 ?

Post by candymancan »

My passenger window on my 76 J10 is fubar.. the bar on the window is completetly rotten and the glass it held up by the roller thingy touching it lol..

Tbh i hate manual windows anyway, drivers is ok but gl rolling down passengers or up when driving.

A 89 Gw poped up today in the jy.. would those swap over ? I assume id need the glass. But will it all bolt up ? The power is fine i can run relays and switchs easy. Not worried about that

Measure your existing glass, then measure a GW glass, to see if they are the same. I could get you the glass measurement of my '84 GW if it would help, but not sure how many years that used the same size. I know body style covered decades, so glass might have as well.

Rather be driving, than waiting to be modified

the issue will be the latch, there was a change over, but can't remember the year ... The glass size was the thickness which was reduced to lower the weight...

I installed an 86 door on the 74 but had to do a little surgery , swapped the 74 latch to the 86
