Window Regulator (Crank)
Just bought another '71 F250, but this is a 4x4. Anyway, the pass. side window does not roll down, so I removed the regulator and saw the springs and gears all mashed-it's toast. So my question is, does anyone know what yrs (including '67-'72) regulators will fit the '71? What about Ford cars from that same era? I want to head to the bone yard Monday and I need to know what will work.
Thanks
Thanks

Ok, so no one, except Buzzard responded, so that tells me not many people know this info. So for edumakschkin purposes, here's what I found out at the bone yard:
I looked at '70-'72 F series trucks and those were the only regulators that fit. I assume '67-69 would also work, but I didn't see any at the yards I went to. I also looked at '73-80s ish trucks and they are all different. Even the vans and cars were different (although I did not see any vans of the same era of my truck). So, I know what to look for now, but all the trucks I saw had the pass. side already stripped. So I'll keep looking.

I once gave my neighbor an electric window motor for his older Bronco. It was the same one as my Lincoln Versailles. (Basically a dressed up Granada). Wouldn't be surprised if the car manual cranks were the same back then too.

Yep, so far just the '67-'72 seem like they'll fit. You'd think Ford would try to save mfg. $ by trying to keep parts that we cant see common for as long as possible, but that's not the case with these parts as far as I can tell.
