Need some help installing new window regulators on my 1947 Chevy pick-up Does anyone have any pics to share to show how the regulators should look installed? Any websites to recommend? I have installed them once, but the window was not rolling up all the way. They are new regulators. Thanks!
Take a look at this while I look for more. http://chevy.tocmp.com/shop/1947truck/47ctsm0107.htm My assembly manual is 47-54 but for this application it is pretty much just 54. Someone else might have something. Good luck. Gater
?? They only fit in one way , there's four screws to hold them to the door skin , the star washers underneath each screw are extremely important ! . I assume you've peered down inside the door to look at the welded in track one arm of the regulator must go into , it will be full of old rock hard grease and prolly a bunch of rust too , clean it all out and use the toothbrush sized wire brush to clean it until shiny as new , then rinse it clean with aerosol brake cleaner or Electro-Contact cleaner & plenty of clean rags , before re-greasing with white Lithium grease... It's a really fun job , requires you to work through that rectangular trap door in the lower front of the door , whilst sitting on the running board , be carefull on how you insert your arm as it's tricky and you can get stuck and panic , if so , relax and look at how it goes , I always take my elbow out first . Have fun !
feelin dumb I looked at the manual, and looked for other post on this, and i still have not figure out the right way to install!! I can not see a welded trake in the door!! My doors are 48 without no draft . I also see in the manual two different ways to install the inner latch (door) release. Anyone got some help advise? Thanks scott d
The welded in track is horizontal and on the inner side of the '48 door . You have to slip one of the round things on the end of the regulator into it . No shop manual has a decent picture of it sad to say , I had to fiddle with it a bit to figure it out as the DPO had screwed up my doors 100 % . If the other door is still assembled , look down inside with a flashilight when in the shade ~ if you're on the sun , you cannot dee inside the dark , shady door . DO NOT take the other door apart ! you'll need it as a guide .
Door Latch The lower channel for the window , goes in front ot the latch and has a little screw near the bottom , remove this screw and lift the challen straight up untill the upper end unhooks ~ DO NOT twist , ynak nor pry it loose as you'll ruin it and it's important . Once this channel is out , the latch pretty much falls out into your hand after removing it's screws .
Door lacth When i spoke of the door lacth i was mean the remote control arm for the innr handle. The manual shows both running horizontal in the resease of the door and than again running on an angle downward ( fig 28 and fig 31) atop the high part of the door. I have looked and looked for this elusive track in the door, but willl look angain! The doors seam unmolested, but i took apart 3 years ago for dip stripping, and forget what was what. I am try to reasemble for driving enjoyment. I don't want to but if all else fails maybe i'll have to put in power windows.
A measure of success I found the track and got the window in, after many tries and paint scraping!! Now i just need to figure out how to get the window level. The front seams to droop, and when rolled up could go up about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch . Will try passenger window later. Need to remove box panels for paint. They are getting painted to nite. Other than touching up the front the painting will be done. I 'll try to figure out how to post pics, using slow speed dial up, to show finished or near finished truck thanks for the help nate !!!
Hey , good to hear it ! . The alingment is tricky , the screws that hold it all to-gether can be slacked and then you tilt the glass a little bit too far in the other direction and hold it there whilst your third hand re-tighten the screws .
