c body power window regulators in b body - 11/11/13 12:40 AM
I have a 70 chrysler town and country station wagon(in junk yard) that has power windows. Does anyone think if I remove the front door regulators could I use in my 70 B body charger with or without modification. I know the harness wouldn't be correct but would work i could save the rear window motors and just have to find rear regulators thanks James

They are totally different motors. I took some out of a new Yorker that I parted out just to have in case my Charger ever needed them since my Charger has factory power windows. When I finally got a chance to compare them one day they were totally different in design, the way they mounted & the plugs/harnesses were totally different.

Seems to be a blend of two things in this thread, regulators and motors. My experience is largely centered on B bodies, restoring a 69B&70B OE PW system, converting a 70B from manual to PW, and rebuilding PW switches.
Re the regulators, AFAIK very few if none of these will interchange between models, power or otherwise, due to the door/glass geometry variations. Regulators for the same year/model will typically be different part nos between convertible and hardtop.
Re motors, again - in my experience, I've used motors from C bodies as well as 81-85 junkyard Chryslers (which are still plentiful) on B bodies. IIRC in late 80s Chrysler redesigned the PW motors and they will not interchange with the older guys.
