1949 window regulators - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just got my project home and started in on it. It's a 1949 chevy 3600. The inside door handles and window rollers are gone. The problem is the teeth where they mount are completely stripped off. Do I have to buy the complete door assembly and window regulators or can the studs just be replaced, or is there someway to fix them. I hate to spend $300.00

Nope, you can pick up just the regulators... $59.95 ea @ Classic Parts of America http://www.classicparts.com/Controls.../products/823/

Cheers,
Ted.

They also sell the regulator repair kit, but I would pass on that. I bought the kits for my '56 and ended up not using it because they were not the best quality. I would look for extra set of door to rob the parts off of first and if you can't find that then resort to buying the new units.

you could just drill a small hole and sink a set screw into the the knob....

what I did was file a flat spot and then tighten the set screw

After I thought about it, that's what I'm going to do. Everything works good, they're just rounded off. Hate to replace everything just for that. I did learn something though, Classic parts is only about 5 minutes from where I work, I got a new hangout. It's a nice place. Thanks for the answers guys.
