I have discovered that one of my 1949 Chevy 3/4 ton window regulators has a broken main spring. I am unable to find a new or used replacement spring. Therefore, I am considering buying an aftermarket window regulator. I have read several comments about the quality of these regulators.

Question : Which vendor sells a quality window regulator?

Buy the aftermarket unit, remove the spring and throw the rest in the scrap.
Consider it an expensive spring.

American Classic Truck Parts lists one. Item #18-781 which may be what you want.

Check Jim Carters he lists a crank spring for 47 to 66 trucks. Not sure if that's what you need but would be worth a look.
