    So i took the windows out just fine it's putting 'em back in that seems to be the problem. I can't get the window track and roll up ***embly to line up properly and i don't wanna break my gl***. If one set lines up the other one doesn't and vis versus, or niether one fits in. It's a pain in the ***. Any HELP will be great thanks!

    My first instinct it to point out that you did the dis***embly, and suggest that putting it back together should be pretty much the reverse of that.:D

    Any chance you have the parts switched side to side? Sometimes the window and regulator need to be at a certain height for everything to fit in to place. What you are doing typically requires care, patience, and a little finagling. So even if you are doing everything right it can be a pain. Some things are just that way.

    Since this is your first post, get ready for the correctness squad to get on your case for not posting an official introduction.

    Haha Well sorry for the rudeness of no introduction. This is my first forum site and my first time working on a Ford. As for the introduction MY names MAtt you'll hear a lot of questions from me about this truck! It has a 350 small block 4 bolt main with 350 turbo ****** stock suspension/steering, 2 bucket seats GMC and anyone that wants to talk about chevy in a Ford i don't really care you wanna fund don't make fun of it. Going through an engine swap right now with the same engine trans. original wood in the bed and original grill with all teeth in tacked.

    As for the windows i wasn't the one who took the windows out and being the smart young man i am decided to take out the other sides(3 or so years ago don't remember) so i can't see how it is put together. I tried to roll the ***embly up half way all the way up and all the way down still the same results with the bolt patterns not wanting to line up. and if i got the bolts to line up the ***embly wouldn't move it kept hitting the cross member that the wind wing/window channel connects. and also i could figure if the bolts hole that are supposed to connect to the ***embly (from the channel) are supposed to be on top or bottom. kinda hard with no pictures i'll work on that.
    Thanks §Matt
