My window regulator on my 1980 pickup is getting more and more difficult to manipulate. I tried to backyard fix it but the housing is so worn there's no solid way to rebuild it. I've had trouble finding one for a 78-83 driver's door locally, but there are plenty of 84+ doors to pilfer. Does anyone know with certainty if a newer manual window regulator from a newer pickup will work in my '80?
 
I had my 87 gears wear out. Pulled out the welder, added some weld to the missing teeth and carefully ground and filed new teeth back in. Not sure if that would help you
