The new regulator appears good quality, nice and tight action at scissor point. However, I will not know until i get few hours use on them. FYI-the spring may not be needed at all, in fact, the Nu Relics has no spring with same motor. I probably will not put springs in after using for while, seems like not needed. I will keep you posted. |

Re: Power Window Project DIY 64-66 TRUCK
Tony,
Sorry, after closer look, it appears you metal attachment is horseshoe shaped and does not cause motor to sit lower. My bad. Great add on! Those with mig and die grinder should be able to easily make upgrade. |

Re: Power Window Project DIY 64-66 TRUCK
UPDATED VIDEO;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9_7...ature=youtu.be this shows my install of the retro window crank handle from Auto Loc; ALso my complaining of the PRICE!!! $100 per side; and the thing BINDS when engaged! What a low end piece of garbage, IMHO. Speaking of low end pieces of garbage, you will see the other set of retro crank switches I bought, from Dannys Rod Shop on EBAY. these have a knurled shaft that does not even close fit my handles. My guess, fits 67-72. My loss, $139 gone. In any case, the pass window is done on inside, now I need to run wires to ignition fused and GND. BTW, does anyone know a good pass through that I can shuttle wires from cab to door? Something nice? I saw a spring with great mount for door and cab, wires ran through spring, I am sorry I did not buy when saw.... further, I have video coming where I do actual modification of regulator and mount motor to it for prep for drivers door, coming in next day or so. Lastly, I may give you a sneak peak at a new product I am testing out, is a solid state module that will add one-touch express window up/down and power door lock control, also has receiver and transmitter fob for remote entry. |

Oh thank god for 64Shortbox (again) - "...Oh, you will need to remove the front fenders to drill your holes in the door opening & door for your wiring conduits. The front bumper can stay on the truck but the cowl panels will need to come off. Be sure to tape up the bumper, door & fender edges, so you don't scratch them when removing & installing your fenders. Use SEVERAL layers of tape where you will be drilling on the door edge in case the drill chuck hits it. Better safe than sorry. As you can see I had a little blood loss - I healed your truck won't! I drilled BIG holes for my conduits because I used a Factory Power Window & Door Lock wiring harness from an 76 C-10 and needed to pass the factory wiring connectors through them. ..."

Re: Power Window Project DIY 64-66 TRUCK
These holes are Gynormous! in reality, only need 2 wires, 12V and GND. I plan on making hole only big enough for 2 wires and grommet;
