i have power everything no vent doors on my truck now and the bottoms of the doors are completely rusted out. i bought manual vent doors at a junk yard last weekend...
i would like to put all my power, no vent stuff in the new vent doors and was wondering if im actually going to be able and do it? o will i have to modify the new doors to make everything fit?
thanks for any help!

Hey, not that this helps you any, but does your location "NSB" stand for New Smyrna Beach. I love that whole area, my dad lives in Orlando and his parents have had a place there for about 40 years now on Peninsula. Fishing in the Lagoon rocks. Good luck with the doors though, I don't know anything about that.

Yeah, its a sweet place down there, I love it. Between surfing at the inlet and fishing in the intercoastal and lagoon, I don't know if I'd get much else done if I lived there. I don't like those towers, I liked the beach better when it was all dunes up there.

Should'nt be a problem I took all the guts out of power no vent door and put them in my no power no vent door and had to wire everything up myself...
you will have to cut a hole in the flat spot at the front of the door for the harness boot. About all you might have to buy would be the window lift arm but that you should be able to use as well as I'm pretty sure the parts are all the same.

The doors frames are different along the window sill between the vent and non-vent doors. The vent doors have a metal brace across the top of the window sill where the aft edge of the vent window mounts. This makes installing the full size glass impossible without modifying the door.
As far as I know, all you need to do is to cut out the offending piece of metal. The rest of the door is the same.
I have a set of both types of doors. I can look at them tomorrow to see what's different besides the extra brace. It's too dark and raining right now to pull them out to look right now.

I tried to put a non vent window regulater in my vent style door and it wouldnt work. I fought and cused and tried to modify. still couldnt get it to work. Your motor will go in but you are gonna need the right regulater. Then you,l have power vent style doors.

this was my main concern... so if i saws all that brace off and drill a hole for the wireing harness everything else should bolt right up?

I get it now you want to ditch the ventilator window and go to an all glass set up right? I f that is the case there would be some moding to be done as others have noted...

I went and looked at both types of doors that I have here which are from 88 models. It does look like the window sills are different, so you're going to have trouble mounting the door panels and the outside weather stripping. Modding the doors doesn't look practical.
I do have a pair of non-vent doors available which had electric windows. Shipping would be a bit pricey.
