Re: window regulator?

probably being 40+ years old, needs a little grease....this might help ya....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=157539

Also, if you haven't purchase one, I'd recommend a factory assembly manual as well....

Re: window regulator?

After all these years of abuse I agree most of the orignal regulators are shot. Little tricky for some to replace others don't have any problems what so ever. Find you a decent replacement regulator and go for it.

Re: window regulator?

I almost always use a board vendor for new parts then if something isn't right they are more likely to make it right plus they support this board.

Re: window regulator?

it's alot cheaper to take off inner door panel and spray with lubricant and work the thhing slowly up and down while spraying // lots of times that is all that is required to get a moving part working is clean and lubricate

Re: window regulator?

If it is just a little sticky it could be your weatherstrip, and not the regulator. The lower sill will catch on warn out weatherstrip and make it sticky feeling. So look at that also. WES
