Default Door window replacement...hard?

The 75 I'm picking up in 2 weeks has the drivers window broke out. I have a spare window to replace it with. How long or hard do you think the process is? I have to drive almost 900 miles back with it and would like to replace it before I get it on the trailer.

Thanks

Not hard at all, just a little time consuming. The hardest part of it is to re-align the window to fit the weatherstrips correctly.

2 problems:

b) Every car is different....some easy...some not so...

But buy the frickin car and love it !!!!! Show us pics !

Had to replace passenger side in my 77. Guy at the glass shop also a 75 owner said mine was difficult spent quite sometime getting it to line up. On the other hand he did say some went quite smoothly
