roll up windows

I've been looking at trucks, found that when trucks don't have power options, their price is significantly lower than a similar truck with them. How hard/what would it cost to put power options (windows/door locks) into a car without them? Is it cheaper to convert them or just spend the extra money on one with the options?

its not that hard if you get complete doors.....many newer vehicles use the same wiring harness no matter what options you have so in some cases the wiring will already be there, you will just need to install, and put whatever spec fuse is required

I actually prefer roll up windows and manual locks, As there is less to break. Also, A tad lighter.
