there is a used rergulator on ebay for $35 mabye i should just buy that.
is it easy to remove the old regulator and glass?
A 1950 will not work in a 1951 or later.
Make sure it is the correct year and side.
I purchased a very good one in the "parts wanted" section of this forum. I have had very good experiences purchasing parts here. Not so much on eBay
Let us know what year truck you have and someone will help with removal. It is not that difficult.
