window regulators

[Zorm]

Looking for a pair, they don't need to actually function. I'm putting power windows in and am going to modify the regulators with 2 microswitches each for up and down. So it will still look like manual windows, but all you do is move the window handle a little each way to move the window. I can get something like this pre-made but I think I can make them for cheaper.

Yea I saw that but I picked up some after market power window mechanisms for flat windows that mount centered on the window.

Be sure and show us what you do and how you did it. Power windows are a hot topic here.

will do, these were is the discount bin at the Summit up in Ohio when I was there a few years ago, they work, just no switches

Zorm, did you ever find the regulators?

not yet, been sidetracked. Finishing up a home project then back to the truck. I am also assuming the regulators from a 73-76? would work also, bolt up the same?

This would be good to know - I’ll be needing to do mine, down the line.

Here is some pics if you want to look at them.

Ron_Hall, I would just be using the handle/toothed part. Take that long arm off, mount a two cams on the gear to engage two different micro switches, one up, one down. I'm getting some sealed relay packs from a member on the IFSJA forum to help with window power. Thanks for the pics though.

[FLASH 1]

73-79 are not the same as the 67's or 68/72's and even all 73/79's are not the same. some trucks the regulators where bolted in < 3 bolts > and others where riveted in the door
