 Late model window regulator in an early door, I converted a 1972 door to use the scissor type window regulator. |

Not pretty but it works. Definitely need a 73 or later donor door with a lot of trial and error to get it tol work.
1970-72 is a lighter door because it doesn’t have the side impact reinforcement. Attached thumbnail(s)    Attached image(s)

There are early 73 model year cars with the early door and late style window lifts in them from the factory. Not sure I have anymore of those type doors in my stash, but I can check later in the week once we get done being dumped on by lake effect snow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Interesting I didn't know there was an interim design. The US requirement for adding the door beams began with cars built in '73 (maybe US only?) So 1973 model year cars built from 9/72 thru 12/72 did not have the door beams but did have the later windows and regulators. My car is a 9-72 build. Its seems the only difference would be the inner panel that holds the window regulators. It looks like the factory used the same outer door skins from the early doors and the late inner panels on the 9/72 - 12/72 then in 1/73 added the door beams to the outer skins. Somewhere in here the roof changed also, I think I have late roof. |
