97 + frontend swap

[blusteve]

Picked up a doghouse and doors for a front end conversion on my 91 shortbed. Doghouse looks to be a fairly easy swap-unbolt and bolt on new sheetmetal. Found a thread for headlight wiring so that will help. My question is how to use the doors frpm the 2001 on the 91. The new doors are power windows-etc. and the wires are cut. What can I do to make them work. Any help will be appreciated.

It should just require a battery and ground source. The window switch in the door switches polarity to the window motor to make it go up or down.

ALSO!!!! don't overlook the latches / strikers on the new doors... They have a different latching mechanism that has to be switched over also... I'd hate for ya to get the doors on and go to close them and have one of those
