yo!

Yep; I have not done this myself yet but others have;

Motor Interchange Info, Side & Rear Window in a 79; \"...I took my motor out and started comparing it to a bunch of window motors I had laying around (i sell a bunch of them due to the fiber gears busting) and found that Bronco window motors are just like all the other Ford window motors....cars, trucks......they\'re all the same. The only difference is they make a left and a right side motor. I used a 92 model motor from the right side (passenger) door of an F-150. A passenger side window motor from a car should work as well. The one thing I did notice was that the later model motors have a slightly different drive motor on them but I believe it\'s more powerful than the earlier ones. My window goes up twice as fast and has never worked as good as it does now...\"

Motor Interchange Info, Side & Rear Window in an 86; "...Pulled out both the motors and compaired them side to side. On one the gears faced the left and the other right, no dice. Stared at it a couple more minutes and realized that the motor for the rear window, when flipped upside down had the bolt pattern needed for it to work. Test fitted it and it cleared the speaker buy around a inch. Bolted it up and connected the wiring and it works a **** of a lot better. Its louder, but dosen't even hesitate when rolling up the window... i checked if you could swap the gearbox from the drivers side window onto the one for the rear window and it wouldn't work. The shaft on the rear motor is larger than the one for the drivers motor..."

Now here could be a slight problem area, (but we don't know the date of mfgr of the 92 F 150 motor Dixie used as he wrote above); thinking it may fir based on his pics.

Motor Models - the split between models of the 92 (for power window motor purposes) occurs in May. If it was made BEFORE May, the window motor is the same as a '91. Otherwise, the motor is the same as the '92-96

two PRE-May '92 motors

and one May-on '92 motor

Motor Gear & Motor Interchange Info Source: by Ray, Mike & Robert at off-road.com

Motor Interchange Info, Side & Rear Window in a 78; "...I disassembled an old ('78) Bronco rear window motor I have, and found that the little round drive pins were (unsurprisingly) powder. I also confirmed that the 4th generation ('88-'96) Corvette headlight motor bushings work here; they\'re Delrin, $4.99, P.N. 601-703 from Mid-America Designs in Effingham, Ill. (1-800-500-VETT) The bronze gear that Mid-America has for Corvettes is a little different story: it is the correct gearing, width and diameter, but has a raised boss on one side that could easily be machined off by someone with access to a lathe - or even a mill. It\'s (going from memory now) approx. 0.100\" too thick on one side only. Mid-America sells it with replacement bushings included (that are somewhat oversize) for $60, a little pricey I think, but having installed two in Corvettes, I know it functions flawlessly there, so the gear machining is good. Overall, the \'Vette headlamp motor and Bronco rear window motors look near as dammit to being identical..."
