Wanted '80s Driver Side Window Holder/Bracket

[natertot]

Looking for the plastic bracket that holds the driver's side window. I've attached a picture for reference. I'd buy the window too if anyone has both. Will pay shipping to Denver or will pull it myself if you're nearby.

I’ve been looking for the same part for 5 years. I read an article saying you can switch out the plastic to a 89-90 metal setup. I haven’t been able to get it to work properly. Good luck

This is what I ended up doing. Pulled a metal one from an '89. It fits in the track just fine, to make it roll smoother you have to bend the regulator arm ever so slightly, but it works like a dream now. The issue is that the metal bracket is taller, so the window doesn't go all the way down below the windowsill, but it's not like I have another option. Thanks for the advice!

I'm sorry to say that I have a few extras, but not parting with them for now. Currently installed on the trucks and keeping the windows up. If I were to remove them, I'd be leaving the interiors open to the elements.

I will make a note to retain these parts when it comes time to part and scrap the rest, so they will be available to future needs. Also if I happen to come across some in the salvage yard, I'll try to grab them.

Question, are they side specific or interchangable?

No there is a left and a right. Thank you for looking

Hi, did you put the 89 bracket on the 87 track or use the attached 89 track? That may be my problem I used the 89 bracket and the attached 89 track. Thank you
