Would like to look into power windows for my 1980RR. I'm not sure I'll find one easily from an F-bocy. Anyone got an idea if other mopars would work? Thinking about Miradas, Diplomats, etc. Years?

Probably your best bet is Diplomat or LeBaron coupe, Miradas probably have the same set up too and are easier to find.

76-80 F and M body 2 doors. Maybe later M's as well.
Not sure about J bodies.
Wasnt a real common F body option for the coupes. I've had a couple F body wagons and 4 doors with power windows and locks and 1 coupe with power "assist" locks.
Cross reference the part numbers and see if the different body styles match.

Ya, guess I need to find some old parts books from then and see if I can cross reference the regulators & motors.

Hollander interchange manuals may be the ideal reference for that

Thanks. Will do some internet digging for them. Got a guy checking on an '80 Mirada parts car. Might be my best option.

Yeah, you might be able to adapt M boy parts, but it may require harness changes, extra relays, etc in addition to the motors and switches.

With universal kits at $150 designed for retro fits, the stock stuff may be more hassle to deal with.

While youre at it add the electric trunk release from an 80's Dippy/5th Ave too, bolts right on just got to run the wires up to a push button switch and mount that down low on the dash.

Nice. That's a great idea. Will have to score one of those too.
