Chrysler used the same power window motor design from early ’70’s to mid ‘90’s with a few of exceptions.
One is they had a Left and a Right facing motor. What might be a “Left” motor for a C-body might be a “Right” motor for an M-body – so using the term “Left” and “Right” is hard to do except from same year/model and door style.
Through the years, Chrysler used several different electrical plugin connectors. In many cases, you must cut and solder new ends onto the motors because there wasn’t any way to switch out the connectors.
The good news the electrical motor portion rarely goes bad. 99.99% of the time, the plastic gear inside of the motor goes bad and a quick change of the gear gets you back working again. The plastic gear is the same for all years Chrysler power window motors that look like the one above.

The repair kits are not too expensive (about $10-20 each from rockauto.com).
This is another option from O’Reilly Auto parts.
Just do a good job cleaning everything up and use a liberal amount of grease when going back together.
Those gears are made to self-destruct to prevent cut-off fingers. The problem is the gears just “self-destruct” over time. More specifically, the three plastic pucks disintegrate.
I’ve heard where people will grind down nuts or use plastic (or wood) stock for the puck replacement, but I’m a bit reserved on using those for they are designed to keep a person from loosing a finger or a limb if stuck in the power window.
Not seen it tried before, but I would guess if a person stuck their head out of a 4-door car, the power window motor might sever it - guillotine style, maybe.
