Check power at the motor. If it's hot there, the motor's shot. If your not getting DC to it, the wirings shot.

If you can see the lights dim a little, then there probably isn't any issue with the wiring. More than likely, your regulator motor needs to be rebuilt or replaced. No 100% guatantee, but that's by far the most likely.

Had the same problem with my '69....exactly. Take off the door panel and remove the wires at the motor near the bottom of the door. Clean the contacts on the motor and the connectors on the wires. Mine were a bit green and once I got them clean and shiny the motor worked fine. Hope that's all it is for you...
