Question about window regulators - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1972SUPERSB · 12-10-2012, 10:54 PM

I was wondering if 72 window regulators will fit in a 71 door? I know the window and handle posts are longer for the 72 for the door panels. Just wondering if the 72 regulator will fit in a 71 door without any modifications? Thanks

The regulator will mount in the 71 door no problem, just the handle post like you said is longer. if you are needing a set of the 71 style i got a pair that are cherry. would love to trade for a set for my 72

I need a set for a 72. Do you have any by chance? Some one put 71 doors on my truck at one time

I learned a new one thanks to this post. Never thought about the 72 being different.

ditto! i had a hard time getting the 72 panel off the pre 72 door/regulator...was very hard to reach the clips on the handle and crank. but everything was working ok.

Yeah I am having this same problem. This is why I need 72 regulators and door handles. I just asked the question if they would fit becuase there is 2 different part numbers. I'm glad they will fit. Now I need to locate some.
