Default manual locks and windows to power

Hello i just bought a 1991 gmc jimmy s15 that has manual locks and windows.
I want to put power locks and windows in, can i pick up another jimmy with power and put the moters, wires and pannals in mine? or do i have to swap out the doors?

You can swap all the internals, but it might be easier to swap the doors. You will have to run the wiring, which means taking out the dash, carpet, kick panels, e-brake, B pillar panels...

Everything is plug in, there's places at the top of the fuse box that are marked for PW and such.

The hardest part will be running the wiring, there is a lot that has to be taken out to be run properly.
