Need help getting my door glass in...

Im trying to round up the final parts to get the door gl*** in my 52 chev,
but everywhere I look I cant find the sash channel that the gl*** fits in, heres the way it works:

The gl*** fits in the sash channel, and the channel is bolted to another piece called the sash cam; Im missing both pieces.

Ive foud a "universal sash cam" but have been told its the wrong size for my regulator. I cannot find the correct sash channel.

Anyone ever have this problem?
What are my options?

Am I gonna have to install power windows in order to use their channel?

I guess I could try to fab up the parts I need first, I really hate the idea of power windows.


I need the parts in the middle of the pic:
10.685 and 10.687

 

anybody??

 

Have you tried the universal cam track yet to see if it fit your regulator?

I got the front window channels for my 54 from the car and truck shop in Orange County, Ca. They didn't show a listing for the track, but they pulled one off the shelf from a later model and it was the same.

Or you might check with Owens Salvage for a used set. Cesar

Not 100 % sure of the name , I think it's Restoration Specialties or something like that , it's in Winnbar Pa. they have tons of different window channels & stuff.
Maybe you could check it out on the web.

 

I'm sure there's sources for finding the right parts, should I mention the obvious? Hemmings. Don't **** around (make it hard for yourself), find the right application for your vehicle and eliminate the guesswork (using "universal" type ****).

 

Pm NONAME...He specializes in old car gl***. I hear he has lots of parts from old cars...He does take a little while to get back to you...he is a busy man.

 

PM BadLuck, he just got some parts to put his 52 back together....

 

You would think that since the door hardware between 49-54 would probably be the same it would'nt be that hard to find. Same year pontiac's might even be the same.

 

thanks fellas

youd think 49-54 would all be the same, but 53-54 are different ( and of course you can buy them new)

Just wanted to give a big thanks to Mike @ Obsolete Chevy Parts for finding what I needed.
