If they do need 12v at pin 30 don't think they will work with the stock wiring and solenoid arrangement but they MIGHT work for driving the motor directly as Ross suggested. Would need to study the circuit to see exactly how they would need to be wired and where best placed so the limit switches are active and other mods would be minimal. Not sure about working with 55 positive ground either since the instructions are somewhat specific on where they want positive voltage.

With the Normally Open contact rated at 20 amps the relay has slightly less capacity than a cube relay so does not leave much of a worst case overcurrent capacity. With Packard saying in bulletin 55T-2 motor should not draw more than 17 amps relay would probably do the job though to be safe it might need a different fuse arrangement.
