I have searched everywhere and only found 55-59 model year. Just when I thought I was ready to put my doors back together.

I modified mine and had brass rollers made to fit in the channel. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,290 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,290 | Are you looking for the c-channel which bolts to the glass frame, or the rollers which attach to the regulator?
Classicparts.com carries plastic rollers to replace the original leather "rollers" (they don't actually roll). The plastic roller rivets are the same size as the hole in the regulator where the original rivets/leather rollers go, making it an easy install. They work great.

It is strange there are no repro's for the 47- 50 trucks.

Fabbed a 1" sample today with two 16ga. 1/2" square tubes. This looks like it will work perfect.

That first one is a 51 - 54 side window channel for wind wing door. I found a good one from AZ. to get the length correct. I am going to knock this out tomorrow. The end is back in sight once again.
