Window regulators
Are the rear door window regulators the same as the front door regulators? Thanks,

Rob

That suxs. I'm changing my 69 burb to 72 style door panels and were hoping they were the same as you can buy new front door regulators...

Re: Window regulators
The rear ones in mine had very little wear on the shafts and gear sets so I just replaced the rollers and lubed them up. Now they work like butter. Maybe you can get lucky too. Replacing the rollers was easy, but it was a two person job. I went with repops on the fronts as they were plain wore out.

If he changes to the '72 door panels like he mentions I don't think the handle shafts on the regulators will be long enough. I'm not 100% sure on the Suburbans but I know the pickup's won't work.....

I ended up removing the pivot arm from a set of 72 front door regulators that I had, and installing them in my 67-71 rear door regulators and they work great!

From Dan's Classic Chevrolet. They came in a kit with the new rivets.
