Do the window regulators have a leather "wheel" on them so it's not a metal to metal contact? I haven't found any for the 36 model just for the later trucks. Will those work?

As long as the rivet shank is the same size and the roller fits in the window track, the ones for the later trucks should work.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

OK, thanks. I'll pick up a couple and see what happens. Are the replacements welded in or press fit and mushroomed over?

I believe that the Filling Station has them in a couple different sizes for the rivet shank. You could check the regulator on your truck to see what size the rivet is. Once you punch out the old rivet just insert the new one, which is likely a semi-tubular rivet and use a center punch or ideally a rivet setting tool to clinch it. I got a set similar to this. These are the ones I used Link
