I am going to try to post a couple of pictures of my windshield track. Need something like this as it is or something I can make into this.
Maybe there is a door track which is similar. The part I am concerned about is the notch or groove under where the glass is set. It is where the regulator "rollers" run. I know I sound like a broken record but I'm almost to the point where I will need these.
thanks

the general layout looks similar to the side door window 'sash' on the TF series trucks - wouldn't be unusual for GM to adapt earlier pieces to later vehicles to save tooling costs - could maybe make one out of a couple of them?
I could get a pic and the dimensions from one for ya tomorrow if ya want

thanks for responding.
The overall length of the longest one is about 32 inches.

Overall height is 1 1/2 inches
Width where rollers run (not including groove) is about 5/8 inches
Area where glass goes about 1/4 inches +
OD of the area where glass goes - 7/8 inches

I can probably make 1 out of 2 or better yet 2 out of 3?
will need at least 3. They are all rotten in the groove
thanks
Jim

Jim - I guess it's different - couldn't get at the glass channels right now, but tho' they're prolly the same width [same glass thickness], they're only about 1/2" deep, plus the roller channel which screws on below - the roller channel is about 7/8" overall, and the roller thickness would be about 1/4", diameter about 3/4" [gap for the arm that holds rollers is about 5/8] - about 16" long, so would take 2 for 1
