    I'm looking to convert my driver's side from manual to power. I have a 2000 but I doubt they've changed much. If someone could pm me the last 8 of your vin, I'd appreciate it. Pretty sure I'll just need a regulator and motor as I already have a switch.

    Stop in at a truck junk yard and see what they have , or go to a dealer and check them out. Chances are the wireing is already in the door and all you need is the motor/reg(like u said) BUT if the wires aren't there you'd be much better off at the junk yard.

    Lol finding a western star in a junk yard is the needle in a haystack much less one with a power drivers window. All my parts guy needs is a vin as they never have a star in stock

    I don't mind the manual drivers window, it's the manual passengers windown that drives me crazy. That is one upgrade I'm going to do when I have the truck refurb'd

    I converted my drivers window over to electric from crank. All you basically need to do it is run the wiring and replace the manual regulator with an electric.
