I have since installed a 12v-to-6v converter for the windows, but yet to be tested. I also acquired all of the parts to convert the 55 power seat to manual and will be glad to get rid of the motors, relays, and wiring. It will be a much cleaner, non-cluttered look behind the seat.

Yes, I've been warned about that before, that was the original reason to go with the 2-6V batteries. It just made sense. I think I'll stick with the power seats though, I do pretty good with electrical issues. If you are pulling yours out, I'd be interested in your extra parts for backup.
