window regulator for manual 84 c10.

[benoit454]

Anyone know of the cheapest place for a window regulator for our new 84 c10? it has manual windows, and I've checked LMC, paddock, chevyduty/classic parts, golden state I think and maybe another company.

My local guy can get one maybe in about 3 weeks, but he doesn't accept plastic, and the sooner the better being the driver's window, and not working is a PITA. Well it works but it's a two man job, extremely hard to roll up or down, lot of play in the handle, it'll move 1/4-1/2 turn before engaging either way. Only way to get it up is one pull on the window while the other cranks. The handle itself is ok, not stripped or anything, neither is the gear it slips onto. I think the big one in back or what drives it in the back maybe because if it gets in a bind it slips. I tried greasing everything, a whole can of liquid wrench white lithium wasted, still same as it was before.

Anyone know anything else maybe? PO said he replaced that window, and then it was hard to roll up and down. I dunno, might be lying hard to tell. The pass. side works smooth, just has a clunking noise while you are going up or down. I greased it today, made slight improvment on the noise.

I know alot of guys here probably have them in parts trucks, but like I said I was gonna use plastic, probably, and I don't use paypal or anything don't like to give out that info online or on the phone.

It's like $40 for the cheapest I seen, local and in the parts books, If I could get it a decent amount cheaper I might be able to do cash, just not sure because for one I have to get a radiator for it and get it legal next week or week after. That cuts into my pocket change pretty deep. On top of doing body work, repainting the bed, pass. door and fender. Plus other things I've already bought and done to it.

If anyone has any ideas or links or something let me know. I'll surf and search around online some tonight for one also.

Oh, just remembered I never had one out before, I bet they are a PITA, anyone have any tips/tricks for me or order or removal lol to help get it out and back in? Gotta remove the glass, vent? main window? tracks anything like that?
